Killed by Curiosity

I felt sharp pains
It pulses and tries breathe
Slice the throat, just the right place
Ignore the look thats on its face
Lock it up, lick it up
Suck it up, and grin
Because you know you'll get away again
Haunting eyes don't want to see
Afraid of being killed by curiosity
Human nature is kicking in
All you can do is try
Cut it down, force it down
Pull it down and breathe
Seas and oceans turn to blood
Something evil has gotten free
Running around inside of me
Force it down, pull it down
Cut it down, then fly
Life's not worth living
If you don't want to die

My goodness, you certainly are vivid with your metaphors. I'm beginning to get to know your writing style though... you are quite the character :)

I like the flow of this, it sends a great message with the last two lines.
