Pity

The strangled sound of one who doesn't understand
Who doesn't know what to say
Try to hold my hand
And say the things to make this okay

Please don't look at me with pity
I drown a little more whenever you do
Blackout in a soundless city
You wouldn't be able to stand to look at me if you knew...

The bile and decay blisters under my skin
Can't you see how fucked up I am
Burnt self reproach and loathing infects within
Pity only serves to condemn
