All Teeth
A Life Once Lost Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just a list that describes the way I want to destroy myself
Not a simple suicide but a drawn out process of pain
This was all created in my head and can't I stop thinking it
I am taunted by the ignorance between us
I am taunted by the wraith I feel with in us
Solitude devastates me
Company oppresses me
I feel sick again
So imagine what you would find on this list that I have created
A few hundred ways of self-mutilating pain caused by injustice
