The beast feeds within Feasting on my blood With malicious intent Teeth that rip I feel it tearing organs And shredding hope It's clawing at my stomach With claws that burn I cannot shake this This feeling of self-loathing I cannot take this This gradual suicide Something or someone eats away at the back of my mind, my identity Scouring my every thought and notion Turning pure thoughts into murder The beast takes control of our shared body Doing as I only watch Spectate helplessly I feel it slowly take all I am Waves overflowing Our consciousness I cannot shake this This feeling of self-loathing I cannot take this This gradual suicide Something or someone eats away at the back of my mind, my identity Scouring my every thought and notion Turning pure thoughts into murder I must fight the black that has now appeared Within my veins Inch by inch I'll take control Relearn how to stay my hand My mind is torn apart Ripped in two Consciousness ripped in twain Looking to find the root Cut the head off this, my possessor So a war rages in my head I fight with all My strength is not enough to fight I lose track of the defining seam We begin to meld We begin to mesh I will tolerate no more of this behavior from you I have worked to raise us up, and I have worked to drag you down I have worked raise me up, I have worked to pull you down I have worked to make me great; I have worked to make you small I will work to dominate; I will work to possess all I will soon exterminate whatever piece of you remains I accept this offering It's all for me It's always been for me This is no longer yours As we are now only one As we go forward Take comfort I will bring us to an end
