i can feel it in my heartbeat,
in my each and every cell.
from my toes to my head's top,
and it burns like fucking hell.

i can feel it in my collar bones,
my skeleton galore.
my digestive tract's on fire -
in my brain rages a war.

i can feel it in my mouth -
in my teeth, my tongue, my throat.
in every breath i exhale,
in every word i quote.

right down to my atoms,
right down to my soul,
right down to my pinky toes -
i'm more empty than a hole.
