golden question -- copper answer

there is something truly rotten about me

deep down in my core

and i keep wondering

when the elixir of pure hatred

with whispers of evil serum i’ve concocted inside my brain

the only antidote being deep in the nitty-gritty

to the right of my insecurities

straight ahead  to self-doubt

i find it near impossible to drown out the voice that scream

how monstrous i am

and everyday i wonder

when they’ll stop

or if they ever will

so i'm left here

drowning

popping inside my skull

a scuffle with my path

the water enters my soul

and i crave a replenishment

to the dark, dry void i’ve fabricated

but the water is tainted with deadly sins

who will help me?

i’m seek the golden question

so why am i getting a copper answer?
