Analysis of Escaping Shame
Jason Bliss 1997 (Illinois)
I'm nothing but disease.
Jaded and shaded black.
Curses lie beneath.
Monsters that attach.
Demons screeching loud,
Mind under attack.
Try to keep them down,
Mine always come back.
Tried to run away.
Still within their grasp.
All i see are fangs,
Emerging from their masks.
Everywhere I go,
They stay along my tracks.
Just as i escape again,
They always come right back.
These demons.
These bloodthirsty heathens.
Spit their venom unto me.
Infected wounds still bleeding.
Just when I had needed
Laying barely breathing
They wake me up once again
To remind the pain I'm feeling
But i won't let them in
No i won't let them win
Nothing but beasts of hate
Embodiments of sins.
