I'm engulfed in anger.
Self-reliance is what I depend on.
I wear bitterness like a blouse.
My face is a mask of hardness where no beauty can be found.
I'm empty there is no soul with-in.
I'm utterly swallowed in darkness.

Life has been cruel to me.
Fate pours salt on my open wounds.
Guilt is a seven-course meal I eat five times a day.
Remorse is my companion.
Love is an illusion a child's fairy tale.
I'm utterly swallowed in darkness.

"What made me this way" you ask?
The answer comes too easy.
Like soft butter on hot toast.
ABUSE!
LOSING TOO MUCH!
HEARTACHES!

"Swallowed in Darkness"

I'm engulfed in anger.
Self-reliance is what I depend on.
I wear bitterness like a blouse.
My face is a mask of hardness where no beauty can be found.
I'm empty there is no soul with-in.
I'm utterly swallowed in darkness.

Life has been cruel to me.
Fate pours salt on my open wounds.
Guilt is a seven-course meal I eat five times a day.
Remorse is my companion.
Love is an illusion a child's fairy tale.
I'm utterly swallowed in darkness.

"What made me this way" you ask?

ABUSE!
LOSING TOO MUCH!
HEARTACHES!
I'm utterly swallowed in darkness
