Left of Us

Alone
and self destructive
Not knowing what to do
Fucking myself into a corner
Scraping my shell in desperation
Scared and unsure about myself
Voices conversing blindsided
Frantic feelings of distress
Realizing I'm nothing without you
Inside my head the demons play
Thrashing and scratching all damn day
Fucking and striking my every pore
Yelling and screaming for so much more
It's ravaging and sucking my life away
If you realized this and that
Understood my thoughts and feelings
Maybe you'd love me back
As much as I love you
Desire me immensely
Burn with the same passion
Join me again in pureness
Treating each other unbelievably
Unbelievably amazing
Amazingly beyond our highest expectations
Far more perfect than we imagined
But that isn't how it is
Fucking sanity overcome with frizz
This can't be all that's left of us
It can't just be this pool of puss
This current can't be real
Too much for me to feel
