Ravaging rats, mind full of holes
Deceiver, lurking in the shadows
Waiting for a gap, crack under the door
Nightmare behind open eyes, pins me to the floor
Revert? No! To the stereotype
Accept? No! Intrusive thoughts
Believe? No! It's in my DNA
Give in? No! To the deception
Inherited absurdity
Thoughts turn to pain; self-harm or homicide
Horror I don't need, voices I must hide
Is this the way I am, or my fathers' madness?
Condemnation? Guilt by proxy
Convicted, boiling in the bloodline
Gnawing at the edge, a wolf at the door
Battles behind open eyes, here we go again
Inherited absurdity
