Blood Deficiency

Inspired by the song, Passenger, by Deftones (feat. Maynard James Keenan)

Completely dependent, I cling to it.
Needing this as I lay dormant in my bed.
A craving; you feed to me your own fingers.
How generous of you.

The velvety warmth drips from my chin
and pours from my purple lips.
I love your filling poison.
Give me your arm now.

This once sweet taste
now turns bitter in my mouth.
I've simply taken from myself, my screaming, withered body.
You laugh with twisted satisfaction and bulging eyes.

I will only laugh, too
because I still want you for myself.
Show me how to be powerful.
I will be eaten alive; no need for reason.

I'm a victim of this voodoo.
I will always listen as you want me to.
They hold a mirror to my face, but
all I see is you.

I crave this still, peering from behind closed eyes.
My body without limbs and stomach starving.
My face a swollen pulp;
you always are so faithful.

Author's Note

Before you ask how this applies to the song, Passenger, allow me to explain.
I interpreted the song as escaping yourself. You will go away anywhere, you will be driven by anybody, you will go over the edge, and you don't care. You just don't want to see who you are, but only desire the satisfaction of materialism. You know it eats you alive to refuse to see your own reflection in the mirror, but all you want is power. Hence, you eat away at yourself, and keep craving material items and power until you die. It doesn't really matter though because you enjoyed every miserable bit of it. Your ignorance was bliss.
Does that make sense? I probably misinterpreted the song from the artist's perspective, but my interpretation is pretty much based on what I've recently experienced in my life..
