Like the virus in my veins
|
A broken window pane
|
Jaws are locked into place
|
Mingled cup thrown in my face
|
|
I live in a house of clay
|
Violated and dismayed
|
I don't want to be a dream
|
In somebody else's sleep
|
|
It is only when I'm left alone
|
That I pervert what is sown
|
Blood and skin beneath my nails
|
Reflects the emptiness of hell
|
|
Then I squirm in my bed
|
Pull the sheets around my head
|
Soaking wet in a pool of sweat
|
Pray for me, I'm not dead
|
|
Take me out with the garbage
|
And don't you compromise
|
'Cause that's all we really are
|
Until we confess the lie
|
|
