Last Caress

Probably wasn't worth it at all,
look at this animal I have become.
Baring the weight of the world,
I'm so sick of feeling like this.

Craving to find somewhere I belong,
longing for the heat I once had.
One step closer to losing it all,
coming undone in this whole I made.

[Ever since that last caress,
a sickness crawls under my skin.
In my own prison of sorrow,
I say goodbye to all happiness.]

It's no surprise I ended up here,
driven under in a world so cold.
Sipped a lethal dosage of misery,
running blind to the wicked end.

Trashed and scattered fragments,
killing loneliness, reflecting back.
Time after time, I lost my way,
and now at the end I stand alone.

[Ever since that last caress,
a sickness crawls under my skin.
In my own prison of sorrow,
I say goodbye to all happiness.]
