mmmmmmm ooowwwww oooooooo

ahhhhhHHHHHHH mmmmmmm oooooohhhhh

mmmmmm ooowwwww oooooooo

mmmmmm ooowwwww oooooooo

ahhhhhHHHHHHH mmmmmmm oooooohhhhh

you are the poison that courses through my veins

your name is the sickness that creeps across the air

you bear the plague as you spread it everywhere

festering black lungs and putrid foul breath

incorrigible curmudgeon your eyes betray your years

acting like a child shedding crocodile tears

you are my cancer that fills me with despair

you are the other half of me that lives in fear

nothing is simple whenever you are around

you control my actions as I scream without a sound

You will do anything to get what I want

I ridicule my own actions as I'm not strong enough

you won't loosen your grip

until I feel whole again

as I take another sip

you are my darkness

my decrepit other half

I try to stand on my own

but you block my path

you reach out your hand

tell me that you're all that I have

I reach out for others

but recoil from their grasp

I don't want their sympathy

I just want their help

why can't they see it's me

are they seeing someone else?

I've been like this for so very long

am I my shadow that I have cast?

has it replaced me entirely

am I beyond myself?

I sit with all the other forgotten lepers

outcasts of society looked down upon

this shadow took everything

or was it me that took everything?

I can't tell which is which

as I take another sip

I take

another

sip

I am the tortured one

and you are my tormentor

I am the purest of us

and you are the demented

this monster in me that I need to feed

an insatiable thirst, a bottomless greed

as I'm left with nothing

it says, "now that I have your attention,

I need some other things... maybe you could get them."
