Try to get involved or addicted,
To living in a cold and numb existance,
Ultimately missing out on life,
Sticking close to someone who is
Tearing you apart,

Selfish is the word you're looking for;
Tired is the word I used,
Hope promises to release me,
From a grip that lasted far too long,

Snakes engage in pointless discussions,
Keeping me alive as they feed,
Teasing me with what I crave,
One venomous bite is all I'd need,

Someone who will destroy you,
Is someone that you can not leave,
Shortly after you waste away,
I will be the one to bleed,

Bicker here amongst the wicked,
Listen to the truth being stretched,
Slowly recoiling into submission,
Slowly changing into a lie,
Slowly wishing it could die,
Slowly wishing it could die;

How much damage could you have caused,
Spitting poisons into the wound,
Freshly open a punctured vein,
Then show me how you kiss it better,

Selfish is the word you're looking for;
Tired is the word I used,
Hate promises to release me,
From an embrace I had abused;

Send me word of when it's over,
I'm not sure I'll understand this,
Encouraging my annihilation,
Sticking close to someone who is
Tearing me apart;

Comfortably aiding me in my denial,
Soothing me with their eyes,
Slowly licking the wounds,
Sweetening my bitter demise,

Someone who will destroy you,
Is someone that you can not leave,
Shortly after I walked away,
I find myself able to breathe;

Shortly after I walked away,
You find yourself alone with the disease;
