Cough out the Sick - I Declare War

I feel buried

Suffocating on the dust

Falling through the cracks into my mouth

Cough out the sick

It will never work this way

Gutted by the emptiness I have inside me

Knowing, seeing all this beauty around me

Nothing will ever change that

The light inside me is dim

The wick has hit the floor

Snuffing itself out

This world’s a motherfucker

You’re just stuck in it

Pull the chair

Gasp for air

Snuffing yourself out

The looks I get

These bags under my eyes

It doesn’t eat at me anymore

It’s a part of me

No working through this sickness

No searching for a cure

Cough out the sick

It will never work this way

Gutted by the emptiness I have inside me

Knowing, seeing all this beauty around me
