Battery

Lacerations, you hide from the world Fear etched into your flesh You cover your bruises, manifested rage Blow by blow to forge your soul a cage Drained of power, see yourself corrode And empty shell, depleted electrode A thousand horrors, a life you regret Selective memory makes you forget She tried to end it, this time a razor blade Never speak, never tell: Abusive cycle of hell Isolation, alone in your world No penetration, where your soul resides A posion that you couldn't find Hidden in the silence in the back of your mind "An Installation Repelling all who seek understanding Live on lust, live on fame But when you're alone The splinter in your conscience Still whispers to you"
