The fog won't clear
I'm a worthless freak
An unhinged tweak
The blood flows down pale skin
Rich and dark
I pull on the blue veins
To feel the pulse in my fingers
Sin falls from my lips
Pour out my pain and loss
I scream into the sky
Asking for reasons why
He stole my everything
Threw us into poverty
Pierce my skin with your needles
The noise won't stop
Save me from myself
They yell at me to drop
I claw away my pain
Hands wrap around my throat
Face down in the rain
I can't seem to clean the stains
I can stilll see the handprints
The dirt on my skin almost comes out
But I'll never truly come clean
