SKIN from GORE by CowardlyCrow

All the fleas, and the worms, and the pests, and the rest
Understand why this is my best
But dont look at my filth for i am half dressed
Again and again i fail at the rest

Don’t look underneath my skin
I failed, i failed, i say time and time again
I know they were a parasite
But i need them i can’t function right
A tumor that causes no harm
But it’ll give me cancer if i look away for too long
What’s wrong with me being wrong
Realistically, i know i was being drained of blood

My skin, my skin
My precious skin
For it would be a sin
To love it far too much
If you love yourself you might as well be a narcissist
Well isn’t that fun, the accusation
Of being too comfortable in what you’re saying
You loved when i was wrong
So you can prove your hollow point out of love

All the fleas, and the worms, and the pests, and the rest
Understand why this is my best
But dont look at me, i must digress
Again and again i fail at being my best

Now every inch of me wants to crawl back
To the hell we made and our toxic vat
you take my hand, hit you, and my world goes black
The tears in my eyes could never beat that

Your words, your actions are crawling inside of me
Every violation festers bloodily
Every violation now craves within me
Now, every violation fears instinctively

Now, every violation roars inside of me
Now, every violation roars inside of me
Now, every violation roars inside of me
Now, every violation roars inside of me

All the fleas, and the worms, and the pests, and the rest
Understand why this is my best
But dont look at me, i must digress
Again and again i fail at being my best
