Why Won't You Leave?


They say I've gone crazy

Is it true?

Possibly, or just lazy.

All I can think about is you,

Reckless and destructive, you are too.

Locked in a room of solitude,

My body is trapped in a bad mood.

Lies fill my world with sin.

The crimson looking liquid is my personal adrenaline

For I have the scars to prove it,

In my heart, the happiness just won't fit.

Help me survive the misery I plead,

You own me like a dealer and his weed.

I haven't been able to breathe,

You are not welcome, so why won't you leave?

Why do you consume me?

Let me go, I want to be free

Depression is what you are.

You turned my heart into the color of tar.

Now I am just as sad,

As you are just as glad.
