[bodytext] => "It must have been something chemical", I hear the doctor say. There I lay, half dead, Half awake. Half listening. It wasn't like this, never was. Life used to be worth living, But all that worth was Washed out to sea. I used to enjoy it, days in the sun. I used to enjoy it, whilst I was a cake that was 'half done'. Now I'm done, as a cake, done with my life. The deaths which did surround me, Mother, Brother, Father, Lover. I became the fly, fascinated by the flame of disease. I became a contagious dark mood, Infecting the ones which did surround me. Spreading like malaria through a room of pure pupils. And only eye could see the cure, Death. Morbid thoughts all around me, Wondering what I had left. I took, and unwrapped, a newly bought knife, And used it on my chest. Scarification was so cool. It was the 'thing to do', I showed it to my friends, they were interested by the trend, But they couldn't see me screaming out in a physical form. All they saw was blood stained skin, I subliminaly infected them with my malaria sin. Quickly and heavily, Like a fat boy eats a cake, They took the depressant that was I. And drank the malaria intake. So I took it one step further, The cake was burning black. I took the same knife that i used before, Blood red stains upon the black Handle. Took it with my wrighting hand And sliced the artery down my arm, Tracing every last cappilary. I did it three times, After all, three's the charm. My head appeared heavy, The oxygen was wearing thin. And that's the last I remember, Before I woke up here. And that's the last I remember, When I was so near To taking my life, as if it were my own.
