Like the virus in my veins   A broken window pane   Jaws are locked into place   Mingled cup thrown in my face      I live in a house of clay   Violated and dismayed   I don't want to be a dream   In somebody else's sleep      It is only when I'm left alone   That I pervert what is sown   Blood and skin beneath my nails   Reflects the emptiness of hell      Then I squirm in my bed   Pull the sheets around my head   Soaking wet in a pool of sweat   Pray for me, I'm not dead      Take me out with the garbage   And don't you compromise   'Cause that's all we really are   Until we confess the lie
