Ego Autem Her
They burn like gas ignited flames
Dripping down her ebony skin
Releasing themselves, or she'll go insane
There's so much fury held within
Her blood content often .25
And yet, it never seems enough
The twisted truth to her secret life
Is that her liver's got it rough
She sees the warnings, never heeds
Can feel the effects, and yet and still
She presses the bottle to her teeth
There's an emptiness never fulfilled
And here, inside her made up world
Its warm, its here that she feels safe
Friends fight daily for that girl
But it doesn't work, she's fading away
What started out as simple fun
Has turned into her only want
The pain inside her heart has numbed
And she won't stop until its gone
Dripping down her ebony skin
Releasing themselves, or she'll go insane
There's so much fury held within
Her blood content often .25
And yet, it never seems enough
The twisted truth to her secret life
Is that her liver's got it rough
She sees the warnings, never heeds
Can feel the effects, and yet and still
She presses the bottle to her teeth
There's an emptiness never fulfilled
And here, inside her made up world
Its warm, its here that she feels safe
Friends fight daily for that girl
But it doesn't work, she's fading away
What started out as simple fun
Has turned into her only want
The pain inside her heart has numbed
And she won't stop until its gone

Wow. That is fucking intense. And connects 100% with every sip I take from the whiskey bottle.
