My Ruin

By Poisoned Perfection

To hell with innocence and all it's chains
Purgatory's where my chariot awaits
I once screamed but was never saved
Reluctantly accepting what seems to be fate
I do not run, there is no will to escape
Everything you refuse say is a catalyst
To the way I behave.
If I drink myself to sleep
And get too high to form some speech
It is all because
The only comfort I've found will be the ruin of me.
