The burn begins
On the skin of my chest
into the depths of the organs below
dripping onto my bones
Give up, give in
here the lesson begins
it won't end
Until you give up, give in
You're alive
Linger in the present
tearing, biting, gnawing
You're alive
Ever vigilant
but everyone, even you must sleep
shake the haze
Feel
Always choose to feel.
Give up, give in
denial, suppression cannot heal
your rotting flesh, your melting bones
Give up, give in
Ever vigilant
but you will fall
everyone does
