SLITHER/MARIONETTE
Intoxicate every night just to fall asleep My own reflection has eyes I can't meet Always more obsessed with death than love Never able to do anything for anyone All the bad that crosses my path Is consequence of my past Gold intentions, silver sins Forge a blade, tear my skin I've been eating less and drinking more Asking God what the fuck he's waiting for I've got nothing left in this life Nothing left but pain and my pride No love for the man in the mirror Punish myself 'til the day after never Choke On all the words I misspoke To death The snake slides down my throat The pain, it slithers It slithers away

Awake, imprisoned Entombed within my flesh Shadows, they're dancing Lurking outside my grasp My dreams reek of burning skin I can't watch you die again Fingertips worked to the bone pull roots from my skull Encroaching terror crushing, pushing deeper down this hole Suffer the fate of the marionette My limbs tied to strings, leading me towards my death Spent my life hunting for humanity And when I found her she was stolen from me Fever dreams Plague my nights Rot my mind
