“The Reason Why”

I starve myself to purify my being,

To make believe there is more to what I’m seeing.

I bear the hunger to cleanse my soul

I bear the hunger to take back control

And harness the energy that I’ve so lost

Among the high cost

Of my sanity

And all that I see

But what really kills me

Is that I cannot be

What they want me to be

I starve myself to purge the refuse

All the filth and the grime, it is no use

I bear the hunger to scour my core

I bear the hunger, all I can endure
