my bad, there was a wreck on the freeway and i just got home. here's what i got up until now

"I fucking hate you..."

Narrowed eyes, needle sharp, make a claustrophobe nervous
Harrowed mind with a past, outlet a killers gaze with purpose
ECG beeps, a fire, alarm is for those that aren't expecting
This inferno of my soul is one she stoked in my infant, see
She robbed me of revenge, this talk of turning a new leaf
The old one's still in the pile! With alcohol and soiled dreams
Soaked to the bones... NO!
To the cells - behind these bars where you keep me
I'M A PRISONER! Check the black and white stripings
Zebra skin, you're the lioness, we're in the lions den
This situation is a bottle cap, the underside says "try again"
Everybody loves what you've become, last days and all
