Simmering

At times
Certain moments
My blood boils at the very mention of your name
Does it make sense how easily you drive me insane
All I think is wrapping my hands around your throat
All I think about is making you choke
The very idea that you think you care is a joke
Society gives you reinforcement at very point
They tell you "it is in your nature"
I can't kill her
Cause you place me in a Institution
That reaches it's own conclusion
So now I will end this seclusion
And turn the public into my bloody resolution
I will destroy people who have nothing to do with my suffering
