Garish sundries and broken teeth
Your tongue is too long for your mouth
Slimy
Rotten
Filthy
Glutton
Hate is in your heart
With an ego like a black hole
Hell is there within you
Hell is within
Movement in the space of an eye
It soothes the soul to leech
Emaciated muscle
Tendons snapped and raw
Anger bears no fruit
But neither do your hands
Convinced you'll never be enough
Hell is within
Inch by inch you're ripping flesh
Dripping wet and stained
No one will believe you
But you try to smile anyway
The voices are your own now
And maybe they have always been
Fall apart for us now, slowly
Hell is within
Bite down on this as hard as you can
Breathe in salt and smoke the wounds
Seething in a cage somewhere
Hell is within us all
Your tongue is too long for your mouth
Slimy
Rotten
Filthy
Glutton
Hate is in your heart
With an ego like a black hole
Hell is there within you
Hell is within
Movement in the space of an eye
It soothes the soul to leech
Emaciated muscle
Tendons snapped and raw
Anger bears no fruit
But neither do your hands
Convinced you'll never be enough
Hell is within
Inch by inch you're ripping flesh
Dripping wet and stained
No one will believe you
But you try to smile anyway
The voices are your own now
And maybe they have always been
Fall apart for us now, slowly
Hell is within
Bite down on this as hard as you can
Breathe in salt and smoke the wounds
Seething in a cage somewhere
Hell is within us all
