Description
It makes you twist and squirm to satisfy the need
Each lie becomes a stab of guilt to carve out your heart
Each tear is mutilated into an acid drop that burns away your mask
Your bare flesh is exposed to sharp words and harsh actions

Each extra ounce crushes your heart and smothers your screams
The pressure can become too much at any time
At that moment you turn to your only outlet
And let a crimson veil fall over your vision

You take advantage of the angry filter and strike
You strike the weight with all your might, but all that happens is...
Red grins carved into your skin, slipping down your arms with each pulsing beat
Each grin caves way to a pale frowns to always keep you company

Your collection of scowls has grown to overlapping on your arms
And then the weight attacks again when the blood stopped staining
Go ahead and try to fight it, you won’t win
People start to notice and say you go to far

You think you haven’t gone far enough to quiet the devil’s sweet nothings
Fight! Keep the weight at bay, don’t let it crush you
Contort yourself to fold around the weight, find your loophole:
A new outlet to keep away new scowls and a new souvenir made of words
