silently it creeps out into my veins, then it crawls back again
knowing that they have been passed down through time
I can no longer claim these feelings to be mine alone

this blackened heart will never be pure
for feelings like this - there is no cure
cleansing my blood with lies and lies 
that feeds on my hunger for life 

days on repeat
stuck in this blueprint 
I've made for myself

I'm beginning to believe in 
the impossibility of things 
ever getting back to normal
