Veins sting my body, ripped out

The euphoria pops my brain like a pill

Pops like a pill

Pops like a pill

you know I’m fucking devastated

By losing you, everyday I’m reminded of losing you

My daily fault, my daily fault

I rip my veins like bandaids, euphoria settles in my brain

Pops my brain like a bullet

Is my heart bullet proof?

Pops my brain, a fucking

Bullet

dysphoria in my body, phantom pressure squeezing my throat

Squeezing my throat

Squeezing

Bullet, phantom threads tie my body shut as I cut it open

Everyday

Squeezing

Bullet proof heart

Popped like a pill

Squeezed my throat

The euphoria drains my soul like a waterfall. (Baby, oh baby)

Dysphoria counts the bullets that don’t waste my heart.
