Off My Chest

http://soundcloud.com/joe-lord-2/off-my-chest

This is my therapy. This is my art!

I'm about to verbally rip you apart!

You're a thief craving power cause you never really had it,

You took innocence from me, from a child,

Your disgusting!

Thrusting your weight on my chest.

You undressed happiness,

I detest the stress that you pressed down on top of me.

A friend, even family, yet void of humanity,

I tell myself I have forgiven you

Wishing it true but I'm through sitting in darkness,

Well memories tear me in two.

When you look in the mirror do you see me?

Cause I see you!

For years I have smashed that reflection,

Cut up my feelings,

Dug words into my heart as I try to repress them,

Entrenched in my self like a worthless impression.

Expression is something I've only just found!

So I'll pound out these words

Erase what you have done to me.

You unwanted vermin molesting my memory!

Sick pervert!

How dare you even share breath with me!

Unworthy of any part of my self worth OR virginity.

The vicinity of that memory is no longer welcome within,

So I'm letting it out cause my patience wears thin,

You are garbage! waste!

The things that you did,

Are reflections of thoughts that I hope you can hide from.

If you saw the monster I saw, you could never survive him.

The torment would swallow you up deep inside

And you'd run from your fear exactly as I've done.

NO MORE! STOP! ENOUGH, You excuse of a man!

Haunt my dreams nevermore,

Whore your feelings in hell!

Cause the earth might just house you but heaven never will.
