CHEWING ON NAILS

Why must I hide words behind clenched teeth
When a fist to the fucking face is so simple?
What’s the point of having this freewill
When I have to live as if a fucking cripple?

I will piss away the day
Awash in formaldehyde
I feel so dead already
There’s no Jekyll in my Hyde

It’s time to die again, hate is all I am
But when I bite my tongue
It feels like chewing on nails
I will not bend again, breaking’s all I know
And when I bite my tongue
It’s feels like chewing on nails

I sit on a throne of tragedy
When I feel like shit every fucking day
Faceless fuckers stare in reflections
Keep all your well wishes away from my grave

I touch the taint of decay
Awash in formaldehyde
I feel so fucked already
There’s no Jekyll in my Hyde

It’s time to die again, hate is all I am
But when I bite my tongue
It feels like chewing on nails
I will not bend again, breaking’s all I know
And when I bite my tongue
It’s feels like chewing on nails

talk to me of hell
and i’ll laugh in your face
your notion of suffering
is pitiful in its fate

It’s time to die again, hate is all I am
But when I bite my tongue
It feels like chewing on nails
I will not bend again, breaking’s all I know
And when I bite my tongue
It’s feels like chewing on nails
