Criminals Inside Us
There's too much blood
On the ground
On some faces
On those hands
In our bodies
Beating mischief-maker, full of bountiful crimson
Beating bastards exist inside us
Living on as if they had done nothing
But work and work and work
And beat and beat and beat endlessly
Red, vascular miscreants don't know of half the damage they do
They reap the blood they sew and course into veins
Such Indian givers those bastards are
So careless in its emotional destruction
So many chased after my heart, only wanting my body
Just to tossed it back when they got what they wanted
My beating scoundrel, my heart
So much spilled blood
Smells of iron chemical baths filled with deceit
I'm not careful with due to my lack of controlled anger
Goddamn beating rascal, leave me be
I keep telling you I don't want to feel these things
The anger, the happy, the hope, the emotions
So many dare seem to cherish those that rot and die so quick
I can't ignore that they are so short lived for me
Only so the plasma doesn't fall
Only so the rooms aren't painted rogue
Red is the tears your hearts surging out
But my heart is starting to empty of it's soul
From all the many maroon streams that are now dripping dry
It's cutting close where I might not even feel like living
But only existing for the thrill of thronging rose
Out of the ones who so dare use their emotions on me
Only bloodlust fuels my mind now
Snatching at your arteries
Me, ripping at nothing but tubes of life source
The smells of iron chemical baths with a coating deceit
God, does your blushed skin and floor make me feel euphoric...
I've cut slits in another heart just for fun again
Well, I guess the good-for-nothing shouldn't have cracked a smile...
There's so much blood on the ground
On some faces
On these hands
In, your, bodies
Beating bastard stop bleeding
Simply stop pulsating
I don't like being tortured
The seeping burns like hell's depths screaming for a savior
Looking for my god in the one I shamelessly love but no
You have to carry her
Like everyone else, be her mule like you're supposed to
You can't do wrong when you serve heartlessly, fuck!
You fucked up again beating bastard!
I'm supposed to be responsible and you made me the needy one
Now she can walk out the door you made me fucking open
You tore her family apart with your greed
The owner of you; my rising sun and late night texting
Scare, yell, and get angry because nothing goes right
It's always our fault
I keep trying not to feel anything
Just throw my heart into the pit of obliteration
So maybe then I'll adjust to the numbness
Transforming into the next apocalyptic accident
Just for view but not a hassle to keep
I can't do anything but infect
So maybe keep your distance baby
Beating bastard this is your fault but our mess
My mess, my messy decisions and ignorance
I'm told to be careful with you
But I fucking hate you!
You only make me cry blood for my loved ones
Only the owner of my beating bastard makes those cells fall
Me lacking the sincerity for saltwater tears
My eyes swell from the torture of feeling
It burns when I bleed like this
And all I can say is "I'm sorry"
I can't fix it
I can't change anything
I can't, breathe when this happens
I'm suffocating in my red abyss
Screeches bellowing from my lungs as I drown
I'm bleeding so much for you through my eyes and cuts
I'm killing myself slowly for her who is only worthy
But I don't know how to make it all stop
Take back her hurt, her mother’s harsh words
Take back my obsessive feelings
I flooded her home with my bullshit
And now she’s the one swimming in my confessions
The owner of my beating bastard
Hurt me back so that way I'll cry more
I promise I’ll be good from now on
Just tug and yank out my heart strings until you tired
Rip apart every vein and artery until there’s nothing left
Crush my heart in your hand as if your life would become eternal
You bring me so much unbelievable
Unrequited; self-devoted
Relentless; undefined
Unforgettably, addictive peace and joy
But without you getting a taste of deserved despair as my repent
The beating bastard is all I can ever offer to you,
My life source is all I can give to you now.
