Mad Sweat

I'm breakin'
Tweakin'
Freezin'
Sweatin' it out
Wishin' I could go without
The drama
This virus placed in me
This
Need to be

I'm livid
And vivid
In my dreams
Wet
Soaked
In the detoxification
Of my spirit
Drowning in a mad sweat
Too achy to attempt
To save myself
Drinking gallons
Pissing barrels
Shiverin'
Shakin'
Tryin' to hold it still
Keep it together
As the chill creeps out of my mind
Enveloping me
Till I am left a natural set of castanets
Teeth rapping against each other
Producing the music of the damned
Breakin' me
Forcing me to return to the warm pool that waits
Beneath and within...

It's a bitch being sick.
