i wake up to the screams in my ear
i want them to leave but they always come nearer
i hate you, your ugly, and stupid they say
they sit there and just claw me away
i scream out in agony but end up falling in defeat
for the screams get louder every time i plead
then i writhe in this darkness that you've put me in
and die in this darkness of everlasting sin
the voices are gone as i float away
finally they have gotten their way
