Like a jackal,
ripping into my skin.
You're a fucking animal,
Digging all your fingers in.
Tearing pieces off myself,
I can't strive for the lies.
Hate redefined,
I shapeshift to get by.
It's a defense mechanism.
You can understand that right?
When it's the same day after day,
fight after fight.
You're still inside my head, 
night after night.
Incessant screaming never ends.
These wounds will never mend,
when you're so quick to defend,
this twisted reality you bend.
