My body contorts
An endless seizure

Flashing and spazzing
Disoriented and lost
Family is a hollow promise
The ones who love you are the ones who

Hurt you the most
who is family?
What is right? What is wrong?
When is my time?

Why am i still trying?
That's where you're wrong
The only thing stopping me
Is a healthy liver

A thin rope
And a dull knife
