all the things
I regret not doing
and all the wrong words
I said are haunting me
they're haunting my dreams, too

I thought the torture ended
but it silently persists
not even shutting my eyes
is safe anymore

I see the Devil
more than I ever see God
maybe it's best
not to look
behind the elaborate disguise
nothing is black and white

regrets regrets regrets regrets
fucking stop circling my mind
I can't change a damn thing now

taunts taunts taunts taunts
soon those demons
will shove me over the edge
I'll go willingly, if it means they shut up

voices voices voices voices
so many to listen to
none to follow through with
idle chatter of destroying myself

not even while in my waking hour
but while I lie under covers, unconscious
they chase me like prey
knowing my weaknesses
Are you still a weakness to me?

maybe you'll be a saviour to one
but I'll still have a saviour of none
