The First Fifty Pages Of Me by Nailinthewall

Warming Up!

For a while I froze; standing still.

For a long time, I was too numb to feel.

For an itch, you did all the scratching.

For a while, I let the claws sink in.

Chorus

This is where the decay starts,

This is where I defrost.

Put me in an oven just to warm me up.

I've gone from bitterly harsh to sickly sweet.

I've had a taste, can't erase.

For a disaster, I was slow-going.

For a victim, I was a complete bitch.

For all I did, I couldn't fight sinking.

For a whole year, I was barely here.

Chorus

This is where the decay starts,

This is where I defrost.

Put me in an oven just to warm me up.

I've gone from bitterly harsh to sickly sweet.

I've had a taste, can't erase.

Finally, I've seen through your charade.

I've opened my eyes to a prod.

I was never so blistering,  so simmering.

I wish I could hear the thunk of fist on flesh.

Chorus

This is where the decay starts,

This is where I defrost.

Put me in an oven just to warm me up.

I've gone from bitterly harsh to sickly sweet.

I've had a taste, can't erase.

For a while, you'll be lying down.

For a year, time will rot you.

For a long breath, you'll wheeze.

For all your life, you'll freeze.
