Haunted
Breathe.
Pretend you can't hear the voices
Both with bodies and without
Laughing
Mocking
Watching
Waiting for you to fuck up
To spill your tainted blood
All over the pure white tile
Crimson staining the floor
The walls
Their looming faces.
They'l lap it up off the reflective surface
Like kittens
Smiling with red teeth
Craving more than you have
More than you ever wanted to have
At all.
It feels great doesn't it?
Letting people inside
Just for a tiny peek
So they can't see
How rotten and warped your insides have become
Blackened with the constant beating it's recieved
From those fucking voices
Those demons
It's only great after the first exhale
After you've given them a taste
Until you suddenly feel weaker
As if something you had meant to bury
Six feet under the ground
With yourself beside it
Had escaped without you.
