They're inside always picking at me
And they are scratching the pit of me raw
They first stung at the skin of my teeth
Then they infected the tongue and the jaw
It wasn't me, they hold the strings
It wasn't me at all
An enemy
Cavity inside me fractured and let them in
And in the middle of the night they
Take my tongue and seize my skin
Swollen and pregnant they're trying to slither out
And in the middle of the night they
Scream in me without a sound
They force in leaving no fingerprints
They drag me down where the vile come to die
No cross stands to bear all the strain
And not a prayer could sustain us this time
They're listening, they're whispering
It echoes in the skull
An enemy
You are not a guest, are not a friend
Are not welcome in me
I, I implode under the skin
I'm hiding all my ugly
You'd never guess that a rot
Could look so pretty
I'm the one to blame, it wasn't caught
No, I begot this enemy
