The Battery In Your Back

I feast upon Your ignorance the one who tells You lies,

Your hate, Your fear, Your every tear,

And all which you despise.

I’ll tell you loneliness is admirable

that your angers justified,

I am the swell that tightens in your chest

And your stone cold looking eye.

Once again You play my game

And I’ve left You with the shame,

My persistence is your misery

As I remain your only company.

You live by me, and do my work

I treat you like a slave,

I’m the dark cloud that looms above your head

I’m why You’re Convinced You can’t be saved.

I abandon you within yourself

A souls dark hollow cave

I’ll break you down to a hopeless doubt

buried Alive in a Shallow Grave.

I tell you “You’re the only one”

I tell you “You don’t care”

All I’ve supplied is this void inside

And a pain you can’t compare.

Your life and sin, my every whim

And when you need me I’m never there.

You’ve tried to close this door before

You’ve shrieked and plead for penance

So I hid low till I was sure,

I could attack with more Fury, Rage, & Vengeance.

I’m surprised You haven’t caught me yet

And exposed Me for all my lies

I stir in every thought you entertain

And every line you write.

I am Your resentments, Your greed, Your selfish fucking deeds

Fueled by Your arrogance.

I live to serve you consequence.

I inspire every function

To distort and dilute the truth

I plan to make a mockery of your life

My Plan… is to kill you.

Slowly, Painfully and more by each day

To twist and contort you,

To drive you insane.

When you long for love

I only bring you lust,

I deceive everything you perceive

Yet, I’m the only one You trust.

I dress you in a mask of confidence

As I tear you apart inside

Alone, desperate, addicted to drugs

And contemplating suicide.

I’m Your most vicious cycle

Your every success I’ll impede

You run to me because you hate yourself

And hate yourself because you ran to me.

I’m the only one you can trust

There’s nothing you can’t tell me

I’ve planted every seed in this decomposing field

I’m your nightmarish underbelly.

When you charge at me with ferocity

Of smoke and mirrors I’ll deploy

Creating confusion, distortions, illusions

A collage of lies which I’ll employ.

Do your best to escape my grip

I will laugh at all your strides

The simple fact is I am you

And will live until you die.
