Slowly Killing Me
It's the suffering, the anguish, the mental pain
It's the sunshine, the darkness, the eternal rain
It's the whisper's, the rumors, the echoing voices
It's the fate, the destiny, the confusing choices
It's the sacrifices, the consequences, the actions
It's the breakdowns, the torture, the re-actions
It's everything that consumes me
Blacken my skies, torments my days, it's slowly killing me
Tears me apart, penetrates my soul, it's slowly killing me
It's the nothingness, the silence, The high pitched screams
It's the laughter, the visions, the haunting dreams
It's the ear bleeding, the mind shattering, the hypnotic hum
It's the hatred, the lies, the involuntary damnation
It's the hurting, the anger, the agony
It's the tears, the years, the crippling me
It's everything that consumes me
Blackened my skies,torments my day's, it's slowly killing me
Tears me apart, penetrates my soul, it's slowly killing me
It's the thoughts, the questions, the answers that remain unsaid
It's the complications, the aggravation, it's all in my head
It's the love, the broken promises, the lonely nights
It's the sweat, the heat, the gentle fights
It's the sights, the movements, the turning in my stomach
It's pains, the pleasures, the cliff where I plummet
It's everything the consumes me
Blackened my skies, torments my days, it's slowly killing me
Tears me apart, penetrates my soul, it's slowly killing me
It's th expressions, the similes, the metaphors
It's the women, the sex, the wanting more
It's the days, the nights, the evening skies
It's the tits, the *ss, the come get me thighs
It's the moan's, the groan's, the orgasmic squeal's
It's the circle's, the cycle's, the spinning wheel's
It's everything that consumes me
Blackened my skies, torments my days, it's slowly killing me
Tears me apart, penetrates my soul, it's slowly killing me
It's the sand, the mud, the dirt
It's the scars, the cut's, the thing's that make us hurt
It's the thunder, the lightning, the malicious storms
It's the bars,the alcohol, the sensations that'll keep us warm
It's the east, the west, the never ending conflicts
It's the oral sex, the condoms, the p*rn* flicks
It's everything that consumes me
Blackened my skies, torments my nights, it's slowly killing me
Tears me apart, penetrates my soul, it's slowly killing me
It's the living, the dying, the health care systems
It's the unemployment, the poverty, the welfare victims
It's the goals, the prayer's, the wishes I've kept in a jar
It's the caffeine, the nicotine, the millions of milligrams of tar
It's the depression, the anxiety, the insanity
It's the pictures, the death, the fantasy
It's everything that consumes me
Blackened my skies, torments my nights, it's slowly killing me
Tears me apart, penetrates my soul, it's slowly killing me
It's everything that consumes me
It's everything I've come to be
It's slowly killing me
