Venom Inside My Veins

My time to give in
There's nowhere else to hide
My time to swallow
Remaining drops of pride

How many tears have stained this soil?
How many souls have vanished?
I could have sworn I saw you
Passing by in the blink of an eye

You bring me down to further deepness
As you focus the pain on my sides of shame
You bring me down to a level below
As you focus the pain on weakness

Time to surrender
Rip the last bit of hope
Time to lay down
Joy is not to be found

Your venom still runs inside my veins
Words of contempt to increase the suffering
Thoughts I can't deny they still appear
Black pulsating heart
You bring me down
Down
Down
