Pretty on the Inside

Wasted offerings

Rituals no one sees

Doubts and ghosts

Strangling growth

Attempting to

Unnerve me

Jagged teeth

Gnaw at my feet

As I move

Mercilessly 

Through all the

Bullshit 

I 

Refuse

To

Let

Destroy

Me.

Violet

It's no fucking surprise

I am an open book and 

You're full of lies

I bare my soul and 

You hide your heart

Damning us from the start 

I don't have to remember 

The last story I told 

I don't need cocaine

To make me bold

I used to be afraid 

To get lost in my mind

Now I harness a power 

That you'll never find

I burn this fire myself 

Only 

I harvest this fruit 

To feed me

I'll cut off my arm

Before extending 

My hand again

You're releasing me?

Bitch please

You never owned me!
