She's my copperfish
The mutagen in my blood
She invaded me
Took over my mind
She rearranged me
Deformed my self
She turned it
Into a monstrous atrocity
I've become stained
With the shadow that she sells
I fear what I've become
But I'm ashamed of what I was
I feel like Penfield's homunculus
But I can't go back anymore
Every dog has his day
Or is that what they've told me
Am I doomed to keep hiding
From this pollution transcended
Halcyon come and get me
Take me out of here
I need to be saved
From the crashing waves
