Serpentine

I sever
All that once was me
Sell my soul
To the hope that abandoned me
This isn't what I expected from life
But the path I chose
Is what marches me to demise
Violence is my cancer
Everyday I medicate myself
With anger
And I still don't find
The purpose that I once saw
My heart is serpentine
Inhale death
Exhale out the torment that runs through my head
Cauterize
Every last nerve and I won't feel the pain inside
It's not what I wanted
But a price I've been forced to pay
God's just a bullet away
Extinguish my night and
Save my fucking day
Lay awake at night in terror
Chasing beam with a steel barrel
One shot
To remember
One shot
To forget
