My heart yearns, I know too well.
My mind races, my own little hell.
My feelings scream, writhe in turmoil.
My breath quickens, this mortal coil.

Pain for pain, and breath for breath,
Love for love, and death for death,
Take me now, I care no more
I do not love, I now abhor.

I stand forgotten, yet I still stand.
The taste for life, disgusting and bland.
I find no joy, except the knife,
I shed my pain, I give up my life.

Death for death, and pain for pain
I try to live, but all for vain.
Blow for blow, and hell for hell,
I love my pain, I love it well.

Love to hate, and life to death,
the tears I cry, all that’s left.
Salt to salt, and dirt to dirt.
Death to me, my biggest flirt.

I long to bleed, I long to know,
Feelings of pain, nowhere to go.
They rise in me, overwhelm my soul.
They’ve taken root, I feel unwhole.

Sight for sight, and war for war,
the mortal coil, I stand unsure.
Come to me now, or bathe in fire.
Show me how, fulfill my desire.

Give me answers, or give me death.
Let me live, or take my breath.
Hell for hell, pain for pain.
Spill my blood, the earthen stain.
