Resist

Thank god you did not resist

Because I am just a bitch

And this

Is

Really all that I can do


I'm regaining my sense of smell

After all of these years

And I'm wishing once again

That it would disappear


Cause it smells like iron

It smells like iron

And faintly of fire

And it smells like cigarettes

And it smells like shit


Thank god you did not resist

Because I am just a bitch

And this

Is

Really all that I can do


To keep you safe from everything

I need to keep you here

I'm trying to protect you

From that devastating fear 


But why can't you listen?

I'm trying my best and

This world that we live in

Won't give you shit and

It'll break you down

Until there's nothing left

I'll watch teary-eyed

As you fall dead
