gangrene
Its growing
Its growing.
Its growing
Past the skin it tickles deep
In my bones it starts to seep
Don't speak it name don't say it exists
Don't watch it perform don't kiss it's lips
Don't love it at all don't give it a crown
Just cut it out before it pulls us down
It's not depression this isn't rage
It's just the thing we can't cage
It's not metal it's not glass
It's the cancer slipping past
I feel it
I feel it
I feel it's coiling tight
Burn it
Burn it
Burn it
Burn it out tonight
We let it in we loved its flaws
Now it has us in its claws
We brought it in we cracked the door
We told it we wanted more
Not all rot breaks the skin
Some haunts us deep within
Deeper deeper deeper it goes
It's the tumor that we all know
Don't speak it's name don't say it exists
Don't watch it perform don't kiss it's lips
Don't love it at all don't give it a crown
Just cut it out before it pulls us down
Gangrene
I'm not gunna cry
I won't ask why
I'm just gonna break
What I can't take
