Akrasia
This nest reeks of disease Soaked with mites and fleas This nest is a room you’ll never leave Beak dripping with bile Scavenge scraps of denial Refuse to settle in Sloughing feathers and skin Cryptic slaughterer I know you fear me Cryptic slaughterer I know you hear me I’ll watch you decay This is your debt, now repay I’ll rip fragile skin, you’ll always be my prey Tumors ulcerate Languish and stagnate Sludge seeps from your pores I’ll smile and wait Bending bones that splinter as you tremble Everything you dread Clasps its fingers ‘round your throat Spectre of greed With a kiss so tender Self worshiper Stop praying Your avarice Earns you no pity Desecrate your vows Squander innocence I would watch you burn But that takes too much time

You wear your shield of crust Face creased with years of rust Ribcage filled with cement Two decades of resentment Bit my tongue Choked on blood A mess no one mopped up Hard not to scream When steel wool Is your blindfold And you can't find what's hidden No one said you had to stay Crippling fear of solitude Squalling bastard in your way Three isn't company I won't reconcile Or show my throat Part of the curse You proffered me Am I a blister on your heel? Or a limp you can't hide? Or a vessel for your vitriol? A cup that runneth over This isn't what you want But time's not on our side Where do you think you'll go when you die? I'll chew on glass I can't swallow my pride Walk through the door I'll leave through a window I should see someone But that means learning where I went wrong It kills me too It kills me more than it kills you When half of me is you what part of me is left to trust? I'm imprisoned by your name And your generosity Olive branches burn on the pyre For every inch you'd always raze a mile One step forward Two steps back Falling swiftly to snap my neck

My will is gone Eroded with each fragile night Don't sympathize With a liar who has paid the price I can lure you back this time Promises that fester in the light Don't walk away My muscles ache with fresh exertion Stay with me I'll conjure up some remedy I can lure you back this time Promises that fester in the light Where was our discipline? Misplaced but not forgotten It never stops A chill that never thaws out Eyes beckon your return Frost forms on my breath I am a sore Inside your mouth My voice a sound you can't block out And I will be your great regret The one that makes you pray for death I can't say no Tongue is swollen Refusal seems so hollow Eyes wide Splitting at the seams Take this away A mess of skin and agony Chemical waste of space Perfume and nicotine

Tread on your spine like stepping stones Venomous maw Licking your wounds A living crutch Amputating a limb I was a person not a sin Your body bloats and spoils with lies As your excuses wear thin I'm drawing a line here Just down another drink While you preach to me your non-belief You desperate pseudoscientist False gospel dripping from your lips Burn yourself out Leave the forest ablaze Beneath the frail bravado A forager that lusts for power Your claws still grasp at passing flesh Drink stagnant blood I've paid my debt I was a person not a sin Your body bloats and swells with lies As your excuses wear thin So choke down another drink While you preach to me your non-belief You fucking pseudoscientist False gospel dripping from your lips I swear I'm listening
