Is this pain all in my head?

All I feel is shame and disgrace

I’m out of time, I give in

Losing control over angst and rage

Nature is stronger than human will

And nurture can’t break the eternal clutch

I’m in you and you’re in me

No matter how hard I try to push

How a single train of thought

Can make you come undone

Suddenly you’re facing a gun

It feeds, it grows, it rapes your soul

It’s never-ending unless you take control

It preys on low self-esteem

It resides within the mind of the weak

The nature of the disease

I never expected your return

But since you’re here with me again

Let it be told, let it be known

You’re still not welcome within

Under the skin, within the soul

It depends on me to feed its core

You’re a parasite and I’m your whore

I just linger, I can’t stand no more

Flesh

So fresh

Tears

In the ash
