Stagefright

Hurts my throat, stings my eyes
Always ignores my desperate cries
Drowns my mind in seas of lies
Bites my neck and bleeds me dry

Leaves me tied up to a post
It's the parasite, I'm the host
In the fire I'm left to roast
It's haunting me, a miserable ghost

Slits my throat again and again
There is no way to block out the pain
Permanent scars from dungeon chains
From torturing me it can't refrain

If I die I'll be revived
To get away I'll have to strive
And figure out how to survive
I'll make it out of this alive

If I try with all my might
I'll evade this monsters bite
And I'll make it out of sight
This time I know I'll get it right
