Cage Of Skin


White crawling
Chewing gnawing
Squirming maggots in my mind
Look! Inside my ears
Careful! Don't get too close
Do you want this infection?
Do you want to be deathly sick?
They're almost finished their feast
And yet they hunger still
Pause! Press pause
They've taken over my throat
I can no longer breathe
Gasping for non exsistant air
And they're heading towards my heart
But what they don't know
What they cannot know
My heart has already
Eaten itself out
How does it feel to starve?!
How does it feel to slowly die?!
Inside this carcass
Inside this rotting cage of skin
What a waste ...
Such a waste ...
Of perfectly good meat.
