• Vile, toxic, wasting away.
    Creeping caustic cries.
    Brittle paper skin turns gray
    and nothing's left inside.

    Breathing in and breathing out.
    Heartbeat, heartbeat pound.
    Fly away on wings of doubt
    and, silent, hit the ground.

    Corruption growing, taking over.
    No purity remains.
    Heartbeat, heartbeat getting slower,
    who will take the blame?
