Don't Let Me Rot

There's things that live inside my head I can't talk about
Sometimes they get the best of me because I don't let them out
I can feel their tiny claws scratching on the inside
Digging into the parts of me where
I buried everything else that has died
I can't stop them and I can't make them go away
They fatten and feed upon all the decay
Like it or not
You're all I got
Don't let me rot
I'm finding it harder to resist crossing the line
I just want to lay beside you and feel your skin against mine
The sin contaminates my moral standing
and what was pure slowly dies
But I have to hide all of this under a blanket of lies
While I eat the forbidden fruit in the garden of my mind
And can't tell anybody about what I've come to find
I'm locked in my head with all these thoughts
Just a fly in a web the spider has caught
If I could just taste your kiss and feel the warmth of being inside
Then everything I've done to keep
the secrets safe would be justified
Like it or not
You're all I got
Don't let me rot
When I hold you in my arms I see everything I fear
And it shatters me to imagine not having you here
Every little part of me goes cold when I look into the dark
And that's how I know the things inside have left their mark
Like it or not
You're all I got
Don't let me rot
