Self Destruction

The demon inside me is taking over
Slowly but surely plucking away
Removing whatever is left of my sanity
And leaving my heart an artifact of vanity

I yearn for the feel of cold steel on flesh
the pain makes me feel alive again
The blood reminding me that I am still human
Each cut releasing my inner reminiscences

My soul cries out for the grave
but the ground has no bed for me
i only find such peace when I dream
and even then i just wake and scream

The bottle only fuels my inner inhibition
I make self destruction such a masterpiece
As I slowly try to figure out what's wrong
Connecting the dots where my mind has gone
