Portrayal of Guilt
Masochistic Oath
Bathing in agony
Covered in shame
These walls cave in
Only myself to blame
Pill after pill
I prepare myself for the morning ahead
My body folds
Writhing in pain
No one is here for me
No one is here for me
Bathing in agony
Covered in shame

I listen to the running water
It fills the bathtub slowly
I am trampled by thoughts
Weighed down by memories
I lay my head still
Welcoming an infinite sleep
My sacrifice for you
An endless cycle of ache

Still conscious, I am paralyzed
Eyes wide open, staring aimlessly
Water begins to fill the floor
Rising slowly, so poetically
I begin to choke, this is what I crave
I am a masochist, in my blood I bathe
Drowning in my own self-hatred
I can feel my lungs as they begin to fail

Bathing in agony
Covered in shame
This burden of living
Never seems to end
As I lay my body
And take the devil's hand
In this holy water
In this chamber of sin

Born into filth
I die alone
