hell is within
03:01

garish sundries and broken teeth
your tongue is too long for your mouth
slimy
rotten
filthy
glutton
hate is in your heart
with an ego like a black hole
hell is there within you
hell is within
movement in the space of an eye
it soothes the soul to leech
emaciated muscle
tendons snapped and raw
anger bears no fruit
but neither do your hands
convinced you'll never be enough
hell is within
inch by inch you're ripping flesh
dripping wet and stained
no one will believe you
but you try to smile anyway
the voices are your own now
and maybe they have always been
fall apart for us now, slowly
hell is within
bite down on this as hard as you can
breathe in salt and smoke the wounds
seething in a cage somewhere
hell is within us all

dark room

i found myself in the company of ghosts
who's ankles wore grief like chains
with hands over their eyes
wearing their faith in god
as a desperate disguise
in this darkened room at home
i sat and said goodbye
wishing that you could speak
watching your words cascade in silence
as they trickled down your cheek
if not the wounds of wasted time
and years of idle silence
then what hurt the most to me?
that i am here because of you
or watching you as you disappear?
i still hear that awful sound
the rattling in my brain
the endless gasping drowning me in fear
it makes me sick to death
the putrid smell of futile man
and knowing it was done
when i ushered you to your bedroom
sitting knowing you were gone
i took my first and final breath that night
watching all the years to pass
as they would leave me well behind
showing me what i'll never become
