Hold still, don’t say the name
Of the one who’s brought upon the pain
Taste the blood of life and spit out the demons
Grasping your body
Choking you from the inside
Freeing you of the feeling of pain
Watch the moments slip
Can’t hold on forever
Nothing makes sense, nothing matches
You’re worlds been flipped
Match has been set
Grab your best defenses, you’ll need them
Battle the fight inside, scorch the swelling fire
Kick to the gut,
Rope around the neck
You’re giving up hope
Feelings flooded to the surface like a head rush to the brain
Blood spilling over the wine glasses of the rich
As you bleed for the poor
Yet you sit here,
blow after blow, can’t get to your knees
You’ve settled for less
