I am done
With every line that you throw at me
It pulls me deeper into the sea
Vicious thoughts repeat as they sink their teeth in me
With every line that you throw at me
It pulls me deeper into the sea
Just bait for all of the thoughts to feed
You keep watching as I’m thrown into the deep
I refuse your silence in numbers
I rebuke those empty words
They say to take it day by day
Giving yourself some time and grace
It’s easy to talk and walk away
While I’m buried in shame and the mind eats me
Hide behind those empty words
And everybody gets to walk away
Talk is cheap when they all retreat
Vicious thoughts repeat
Talk is cheap and the mind bites deep
Yeah, it sinks its teeth in me
Bite down on the tongue and bleed
Foul bait for all to feed
Bite down on the tongue and bleed
Just let me breathe
They say to take it day by day
Giving yourself some time and grace
It’s easy to talk and walk away
While I’m buried in shame and the mind eats me
Rebuke the self rejection
I see through that dead reflection
Red pool on the water’s edge
Are they feeding yet?
A conversation I refuse
Your words mean nothing
It’s easy to talk and walk away
(It’s easy to talk and walk away)
(It’s easy to talk and walk away)
(It’s easy to talk and walk away)
Well, they say to take it day by day
Giving yourself some time and grace
It’s easy to talk and walk away
While I’m buried in shame and the mind eats me
They say to take it day by day
The empty advice rings on replay
It’s easy to talk and walk away
While I’m buried in shame and the mind eats me

Malevolent
Abandoned space of forgotten faces Scream-soaked halls, the resting place left Pictures framed, but the time erased them Walls rot out A home forsaken A portrait bleeding …
