Broken down, boxed up, piecemeal
Bite sized, agreeable, unrevealing
Poked and prodded, roars to seal up, put on display
Copious heartbreaks as keepsakes
Serving as testament to tolerance
Gorged on bones unpicked and hoping
An intact stomach's an accomplishment
Broken down, boxed up, piecemeal
Bite sized, agreeable, unrevealing
Poked and prodded, roars to seal up, put on display
Copious heartbreaks as keepsakes
Serving as tеstament to tolerance
Gorgеd on bones unpicked and hoping
An intact stomach's an accomplishment
Wearied and trialed in the standstill, whispers deafen

Burn all the holes that you need to get in
Bite my tongue so hard it cuts clean right through
And it tastes like the blood that kissed the

Sadistically forsaken, hollowed out as demonstration, shaken
Subdued, reduced to whimpers
Rightfully diminished
Wrapped around a trigger-happy finger
Sickly sweet marionette
Subdued, reduced to whimpers
Rightfully diminished
Wrapped around a trigger-happy finger
Sickly sweet marionette
A noxious and inculcated humility
Humiliating and undeniable futility
Taken down a peg, can't get much lower than this
Helpless pet rolls over again
Kept in check, never dare to deviate from
Pained cries hushed, never dare to scream
Insides picked apart, excruciatingly pristine
Cultivated, eviscerated
Trivial, minuscule, imperceptible
Lacerated, turned inside out, decimated
Dehumanized for amusement
Enshrouded in panic and confusion
To persevere through nightmarish reality while burying dreams
It happens over and over and—
