Pillory -

Corners of the mind wrought with regret

By day they scatter, but when the sun sets?

They promise to return, these demons at play

Submit to the influence, let your head hang in shame

Fought so fucking hard just to hold it at bay

Smile and fake it all to survive another day

But it’s always a given that the pressure comes back

To sink in it’s teeth and drain all that’s left

And I can barely fucking breathe

I feel corroded on the inside

I am what remains, the rest has died

A broken mind, a bitter soul

Sometimes it feels as though I’m not in control

Just leave me here

Not even worth an outstretched hand

Berate me now and forever

Because you’ll never understand

I struggle just to exist

My life was meant to be more then this

Held to expectations I could never uphold

I try my best, but don’t conform to your mold

This is your dream

But it was never mine

Hatred tears at the seams

I hope you all fucking die

Hatred tears at the seams

I hope you all fucking die

Your image doesn’t hold strong

I despise your fakeness, therefore I don’t belong

You can keep your bullshit inner circle

An empire built upon tyranny and turmoil

Pride comes before the fall

Remember that as you look down on us all

You motherfuckers

Corners of the mind wrought with regret

By day they scatter, but when the sun sets?

They promise to return, these demons at play

Submit to the influence, let your head hang in shame
