What do you want me to say?
What would you have me do?
Must I rip out my own tongue and deafen these ears,
stop an uncomfortable conversation before it starts? Must I tear out my own eyes,
so I don't have to watch this constant self mutilation? Excuses.
Lies.
I swallowed them whole.
Must I b*** my lip so hard that a river of blood will choke back the criticism you're sure to hear in my voice?
You cannot stop.
I will not stop.
Excuses and lies,
I swallowed them whole.
Oh, godless day with no sun to see that I've gone. And the night will not miss the breath from my lungs.
It just moves on.
