Pluck out my eyes

And place them on a pedestal

Wash the dirt away

Was this how you wanted it to be?

Every breath brings a new story

Each word a new start

With each dream i fall further

And further from the truth

The night plays tricks

Shapes move in the sickly streetlights

I can feel your soul upon my skin

Drape me in your shame

It will never be the same

Never could I have seen

What any of this would become

Lips twitch without sound

Tears fall without meaning

The pain in my head grows

The sickness gnaws within

The tearing of my throat

The ripping screams pour forth

Bloody Lips strips dangle

The shreds of my dignity hanging in tatters

A festering shroud of sundered humanity

Curled up under a blanket of filth

It´s impossible to shut out this world

And as I choke on my own stink

I hear footsteps fade away again

The cold return, sudden and sharp

I´ll hide in my own mind
