DOES YOUR CONSCIENCE EVER
TAUNT YOU FROM THE
PITS ITS BURIED DEEP IN
THREATENING TO OPEN
THE FLOODGATES OF DARKNESS
SHAKING YOUR BRITTLE BONES
PUSHING THICK SLURRY
DOWN YOUR LUNGS
I'M ON FIRE
BURNING UP
A PILE OF ASHES
WHO'S AFRAID TO BE REBORN
SITTING IN SILENCE
HUNCHED UP
(MOM SAYS MY POSTURE IS UGLY)
BEGGING FOR VALIDATION
TELL ME MY PRECIOUS
DO I MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?
TO THIS DELIRIOUS WORLD?
AT THREE AM WHISPER
IN MY EARS
WHAT EVERYTHING MEANS
TO YOU
I AM YEARNING SOMETHING
THAT DOESN'T EVENE
