Away with Oneself

I, a stranger to myself, am receiving
These words, I know, I must accept, but how?

My eyes come bulging out my skull
And my heart, my heart explodes
Now I recognize my own weakness

I, a danger to myself, am begging
For you, to see how I become my own demise

I dig
The dirt beneath my nails
Proof of my anguish
My aching heart screams mercy
