Asphyxia


When I forgot to sing
It killed me slowly
Looking past all the things
That once made me human
 
And in my mystery
A dreary smile 
Memories stay far from me
The weak and alone
 
I walked a short way
Though my legs danced as if a mile
Concoctions just like me
Yet with them I refuse a smile
 
Asphyxiation for every time
I was infested on their mind
Wishing to play pretend
 
Pretend,I could be
Out,yet wanted
I want to look like myself 
I beg her not to do it 
 
A gothic misery
A gloomy Saint
I wash away my self 
Clash my blood with the paint
 
May you hear my thoughts whispering
The lovely song I cannot sing
And I will be human again
 
With all the internal damaging 
That I have brought upon myself
I lay and play pretend
