RIPE WITH FAILURE

In a desperate state I rot
Been lost to my thoughts
What will it take to awaken me?

Nails bitten down to the quick
Nerves have gotten the best of it
I can fell the hammer coming down

Like a scar I cant hide
It runs in my head on repeat
Played it out in a thousand ways
Yet it always end up the same

When you thirst for
I had nothing to offer
When you starve for
My hands were empty

Our future ripe with failure
Built upon a broken foundation
All empty promises spoken
If I was able to I would erase them
A black void grows in my chest
Where my heart used to be
Slice me open a loving gesture
Spill my blood in your mouth just to nurture

Ahhhh

I lie in the wake of my mistakes
In sorrow and regret im wallowing
To undo all the years of your grieving
Id offer myself id give anything
