33 - I Can't Stop

You push me up against the wall

because you fear that I will take it all,

but you don't understand

that the kids here

bleed 'til their hands disappear.

You kick me down

'til I stay down, 

or until I destroy 

everything I've come to love

but misplace my annoyances on,

and I've become the one thing

that I hate in other people.

I'm struggling to see 

the god-forsaken good in me. 

I can't wait 'til I fall asleep

and my head leaves morality.

Weapons don't scare me,

and demons just placate 

the burning rage inside 

that I see every time

I close my eyes. 

I'm so sick --

to my stomach --

with churning organs 

turning like a clock,

because I can't stop.

I can't stop.
