"The Venom Inside"

The venom inside
Turned me into the enemy.
Turned into what I hate.
My apathy got the best of me.
Blood boiled and lost my way.

I never thought I'd be the one to blame.
Have to live with constant shame.
Everything that I put inside just to feel numb.

I tried to escape.
Push it away.
Tried to hide,
The venom inside.

This was nothing but moral abuse.
Guess I just needed something new.
What could I gain from solitude,
or acting like a fool?

I tried to escape.
Push it away.
Tried to hide,
The venom inside.

Disconnected. Apathetic.
It's so pathetic to be this frantic.
I needed help. I needed help.
Like methadone for an addict.

I tried to escape.
Push it away.
Tried to hide,
The venom inside.
