Necrosis and Death
  You say you’re blue but all I see is red
  Your guts rotting ‘neath your porcelain doll skin
  I see you dying, asphyxiation
  Treading roiling seas of your emotions
  Never, no never, to any avail
  And the poison that runs between your veins
  Is the darkness destroying your mind and soul
  Underneath their dominion you’re helpless
  Lest they eat you whole, savage beasts they are
  Lest they swallow you whole, spit out your bones
  And there’s no escape from what lurks within
  What flays you alive, what drowns you in blood
  Don’t lie, I see inside; all you are is
  Necrosis and death: you’re all hollowed out.
