MY OWN

Dehumanized and abused
I sit on broken hands
The fire, like a shark
Eats me away inside

Lurking in the numb night
I succumb to your lies
Tearing your brow from mine
I rip your heart in two

Freedom stripped from demon walls
I sit and soak in pain
Caressing my sacred soul
I try to sacrifice another

Not the pain again
Not this pain again
I’ve done this to myself thousands of times
Eaten my own flesh
As I bleed at the strike of my own hand
