creep

I split your skin just to feel warm I wear the damage like it’s mine You try to scream, I fill your throat With every piece you left behind I’m the creep in your bloodstream I crawl through every vein I carve myself inside your bones You cut me out in strips and threads I stay where you try to erase me I bloom in everything you bleed You scrub your mouth until it bleeds Still taste me in every word you say You try to sleep me out your mind But I’m the thought that stays awake Peel me off, I stick in layers Under nails and in your teeth You spit me out, I taste the air Then slide right back beneath You made a body just to break it Made a wound for me to keep Now every time you try to heal You’re just repairing me I’m the creep in your bloodstream I crawl through every vein I carve myself inside your bones You cut me out in strips and threads I stay where you try to erase me I bloom in everything you bleed I'm the creep In your bloodstream
