Pen to paper with invisible ink Displaying honesty with nothing to show Recanting the taste of the knife A sweet to bury me forever We're trapped in casings made of arsenic and inclinations Indigence from the heart trudging on so unfulfilled I haven't been so much as thrilled to be alive For I am cursed and holding on To this semblance of a life I cannot shake The jinx that's applied The haunts that encroach A rain that won't dry I'm drinking my options And dying of thirst The shadows still lingering For I am cursed The lights have been dim lit The candles burned wet No shelter to house this A plague that cant set A scratch at this ulcer A prayer that it bursts A longing for solace For I am cursed Mouth to bottle with a hunger for regret Paralyzed in an infant state Our feelings benumbed by our consumptions Every kiss a coat to peel and flake Habituation a crutch which once brought solace Now choleric as there is no other choice Cauterize the wounds which exposures Smoldering ache which begat the vice I've never felt such vapid space behind my eyes For I am cursed and moving past The orchestrator of these cries I cannot shake The jinx that's applied The haunts that encroach A rain that won't dry I'm drinking my options And dying of thirst The shadows still lingering For I am cursed The lights have been dim lit The candles burned wet No shelter to house this A plague that cant set A scratch at this ulcer A prayer that it bursts A longing for solace For I am cursed I cannot shake The jinx that's applied The haunts that encroach A rain that won't dry I'm drinking my options And dying of thirst The shadows still lingering For I am cursed The lights have been dim lit The candles burned wet No shelter to house this A plague that cant set A scratch at this ulcer A prayer that it bursts A longing for solace For I am cursed
