Bulimia


The regression lies here

Over the black tile floor

The relapse lies here

Begging for more

Too late to go away

But I might stop for you

Throat hurts a million stings

Eyes burn and ears ring

Got me down on my knees

I don’t have anything

Rid me of everything

But I sit here

Begging for more

Too late to go away

I couldn’t even stop for you
