purgatorial bloodlust

this drop is red
i wished it was nothing
i'm frozen in time
stuck on unchanging values
i'm walking in limbo
sidescrolling buildings
blood splattered on every wall
MY GOD, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
i'm sorry, it wasn't me
it was the girl inside me
her hunger never stops
she drinks the blood of everyone
459 of them she killed
laughing, like it was fun
a sadist playing with her victims
she whispered "now it's your turn"

follow me around
to the end of every little thing
it shows you cared
if only we weren't such absolute fuckups
we're the only ones here
the weak flickering of streetlights
something so liminal yet so real
this moment is a dream
and i hope we don't wake up
and we fly and we fly and we fly and we fly

If I can't kill you
I have to die first
I will show you
The end result of
Every word you've ever said that's stuck in my head
Searching for a purpose I could serve
To someone who'd care more than you
Constantly reminded of the fact
I made you hate your life
Your voice is the only one I hear
Rattling around inside my head
Racked with guilt and ceasing to exist
I made you want to die
I'm tired of being adorable and cute
I want my brain to work
I never stopped doubting myself
Not allowed to feel pride
I've held still for long enough
I need to make the sound
Of someone with nothing left inside
No longer being quiet
No longer being quiet
I'm going to be loud so you can hear me
My sickness made me silent
The witless made me silent
You simply try to undermine everything
You will not take this away from me
It's all I have and you won't get even a single moment
(unless you count this song)
I thought that you'd find out
But at every turn
You have proven to me
You're not as bright I had gave you credit for

i feel stuck
nothing seems to get anywhere
everything i try to do gets struck down
i show someone something that i'm proud of
and i get laughed out of the room
i don't know who's writing me into this world
i just hope that they know that i wanna be killed off
oh, how i wish for escape from all this
if only they would let me
WITHOUT SCREAMING OUT IN AGONY
GRIEF STRIKING ITS MIGHTY HAMMER DOWN
IT ONLY GETS WORSE FROM HERE
BUT YOU CAN'T GO BACK IN TIME

The wasted skin
That folds over itself
Sags around his mandible
Sprouting unkempt hair
Pathetically gray
It begins to stretch
Around his starveling frame
Of a face
And parses his lips
And his rickety voice
Crawls through the air
A sudden moment of clarity
Escapes his crumbling mind
He is alive
He is going to die
He wants to be buried
He tells us exactly where
And we realize
He is aware
And a younger man says
"Thank you Father"
The last time I saw him
Wrapped in a thin blanket
Struggling to even walk
It hurt
And it helped no one
And now
It is happening all over again
To his faithful widow
And I do not want to go
But it is my duty
As a grandson
To be reminded
What I will lose
And what I will become myself

Saw you feeling hopeless
Someone even more than me
Hoped you wouldn't notice
But I've been blessed with more to see
Getting too excited
I love your face and body's shape
So I won't try to fight it
If you f-
Lately I've been begging
To feel how you're adroit
Now I'm driving 'cross the mountains
Just to prove a point
I called out your name...and you c-
What a quaint encounter
A first in more than just one way
But this was going to happen
I knew from how you talk to me
Looking through the mirror
Mouth is open wide
Freezing marble counter
Pressed against your sides
Crack apart my eggshell [I am dearly hoping]
My whole brain is fried [I can feel you changing me]
I am not the same now [you can pull me open]
What am I inside [you're the staff and I'm the sea]
I called out your name and you came running
I called out your name...and you came running...d-

just kill me already
tie me up and tell me you're doing this out of love
cut me open and drink my blood
it doesn't matter anymore
no one cared about me
they never did
but you, you ended my life early
and for that i thank you
mercy, make me die and die again
the sweet release of nonexistence
soon that will be all i know
my blood covered your face
you said it didn't taste like me
tell me you did this out of love.

My chest hurts
I'm burning up
My vile words
I chew you out
You interfere
You're so clear
And my heart falls to the floor
You're too kind
Your patience shows
You don't mind
My hateful blows
From close-up
You've grown up
But so far
I notice I haven't grown at all
I will never grow up
die die die
