Describing pain from an experience and sideeffects. Dedicated to an old friend.
I hate it, the pain you hafta feel
But once bitten it's a futile fight to heal
Attacked the innocent, leaving poison in ur veins
Sucked your innocence, now only detriment remains

Chased away your fears, still a shadow hides within
Going blankly through the years to hide the shame within
There's no going back, but can't I pretend
saying I wasn't attacked surely then I would mend

Of course I was wrong, why's that new
I've known all along this fight would be through
The wounds won't heal from all the savage snakes
To forget all I feel, I'll do all it takes

I found a treatment, it reminds me I'm alive
It is slightly aberrant but so is my life
I'll admit, it's almost an entertaining game
But why shouldn't it, if it helps me remember my name

I know it sounds silly, I want to be alright
Of course it's silly to think I could be right
Unfortunately I'm difficult I don't want to change
Hating the end result, I love the pain

I hate it, watching you writhe
If you only let it, I would take it from thy
Don't worry, I know how it is
Never blurry, it is what it is

Multiple bite wounds, I let it bleed out
Stuck in the white room, total mental freak out
Here I am, can't turn the clock back
Unwillingly I can re play the attacks

Red and white, blood and scar tissue
I'm alright but that you already knew
I provided the ink for my tattoo
Let the silver sink, red and white room

Maybe one day things will change
But till I find a way I relish the pain
Don't pity me, I am just fine
Sweet reverie till the end of time.
