It's Only When I'm Left Alone

Like the virus in my veins A broken window pane Jaws are locked into place Mingled cup thrown in my face I live in a house of clay Violated and dismayed I don't want to be a dream In somebody else's sleep It is only when I'm left alone That I pervert what is sown Blood and skin beneath my nails Reflects the emptiness of hell Then I squirm in my bed Pull the sheets around my head Soaking wet in a pool of sweat Pray for me, I'm not dead Take me out with the garbage And don't you compromise 'Cause that's all we really are Until we confess the lie
