Problem Child

Every night the thing that tried to kill me lays just a few feet in front of where my eyes fall
So I face the wall now

I fight screaming with silent
Flinch softly
Screams violence
Bruised skin
Screams you love me
Nashing teeth
You're my property
Scream provider
Sharpen claws
Scream provider
Define killing
Scream provider
Act protected
Scream ungrateful
Be grateful
Be grateful

Be thankful

You need me
You love me
You have to
Scream smothering
Scream following
Lead into nothing
Lead into use me
Scream this is okay
Whisper this is better

Lie to me
It's a brand new start

Sunlight shines through the window
Nashing teeth turn into memories
Yelling fades back into the night and rests it's soul inside metal and sheetrock

Cold hands
Pat foundation
Into the skin under
Where my eyes fall
