Gnawing the flesh down to bone,
Eating the soul into hollow.
There is no love in you, no kindness,
Your problems, your anxieties, your endless hunger,
Your bottomless wants, your private miseries.
You are the center of your universe,
The leading role in your little play,
And all around you are nothing but toys,
Meat, and fuel for your fleeting interest.
You sink your claws into my soul,
Ripping the flesh with greedy fingers.
You tell me that you need me,
But all you need is for me to play my part:
Give your body and bleed out your soul.
Make me happy — do it, NOW :)
Your words and actions are like venom in the blood,
Poisoning thought, flooding with guilt,
Dragging me into madness.
With a gentle noose around my throat
You make me doubt myself, erase my borders,
Keep me captive and burning, burning
And I am sure in your insatiable lust
Far beyond corrupting my soul.
You’ve made that clear enough.
You claim as yours whatever you desire,
So easy, so casual, so cruel.
I would have died, if I had the strength.
I would have run, if I had the will.
But I remain, watching myself
Turn to ash — flesh and soul alike.
And you don’t even realize
Actually, the original version in my native language had a rhyme, but now it doesn't, so...maybe I'll work on it someday, but for now the main thing for me was just to get it out there. Maybe one day I'll make song lyrics out of it.
