The Pounding in My Head Won
The pounding in my head won’t go away
The rush, the high, flying
None of it will go away
The rush, the rush, it’s supposed to end
The night over, the day breaking
--but fuck that why end it early?
They are watching you as you fly
You’re the crash test body
You are the cunt
You are the bitch
You are the malfunction in their system
Delete you- fuck you -push you away is their answer
Captures you in the cage-
Closes in for the deed-
Then crushes you in the process
the pain, then the screams no one will hear-
Just a noise in the back their heads
Erased, broken inside
I put the gun to my head,
I put the finger on the trigger,
I turn to say goodbye,
--gone
