My feelings press down upon me And engulf me, drowning me in their flood They poison my thoughts, poison my mind Then spread their way through my blood. Strong links of iron bind my heart Refusing to break, their hold tightening still Choking me ever, I can breathe no more Circling around, closing in for the kill. Like a thousand arrows, like a thousand knives Emotions slice through me- the hatred and lies They pierce me and hack me Till I start to bleed They strangle me, choke me Bring me down on my knees. My feelings hold me under And as waves beat upon me They echo 'round me like thunder 'Round my battered mind and body There's only one way to end it It must end where it did start It must end before it ends me There must be a way... I must tear out my heart.
