Life exploding deep inside
I want to live
I want to cry

I need to feel more than this
A fiery passion
No hinderance, no lisp

All around the flaking crust
No heat, no warmth
Just twisted black puss

This need for life so overcoming
Breaking apart
My corpse consumed in everything

Will it spread and break me free?
Make my heart live
This life, this need

I feel such passion for those around me. Yet, it seems almost impossible to reach them.
