12 Situations This blood 
pumping through my veins
is not my own - 
and I don't recognize
the arythmic method 
of this brain that just 
won't think for me.

And I am late today - I know
but I would rather ignore the sound
of you begging my attention-

and I am without forgiveness
you can no longer cure this mood I'm in-
and I am without remorse for the
goodbye I've failed to speak.

You poison me with your love
and with your words- and dare
speak of an antidote that sits
well beyond my reach - 
and you preach of all that 
I am doing to displease - 
but you don't see how quickly
you are killing me.

These lies have proven 
to be more addictive
than your truths - few, 
and far between - and I can't 
pretend that I am happy anymore...
I need a stronger medicine 
to heal these wounds
you have inflicted upon me.

And now, this emotion
has become little more
than a word - that breaks me
and laughs while I bleed-
there will be no more worship
of this ideology - 
I have become seperate
I will yet become free.
