I Can't

I can't think straight again today
I'm way too tiered to play
Gonna dig myself a shallow grave
Lay me down to dream I'm brave

I can't think straight anymore
I'm way too drunk to explore
Gonna rid myself of shallow thoughts
Lay me down to dream I'm yours

I can't think straight this time
I'm way too crazy to be kind
Gonna give myself another line
Lay me down to dream I'm fine

I can't think straight about you
I'm way too lonely and confused
Gonna give myself some more abuse
Lay me down to dream I'm used

I can't think straight about me
I'm way too high can't you see
Gonna give myself one last feed
Lay me down to dream I'm free

I can't think straight about shit
I'm way too down to think about it
Gonna give myself another hit
Lay me down to dream I don't quit.

It's 2 am, and I'm a ghost Of what I used to be. A whisper of my former self, Calls out, meekly, to me. My blood is wine, and swear to god, My visions getting blurry.

A Cigarette

Can't sleep. Counting sheep. Just want to forget. Give me a cigarette. So pop some pills. Giving me thrills. Just want to forget. Give me a cigarette. Eyes glazed. Mind dazed. Just want to forget.

Hiding In The Deep

Hiding. In. The. Shadows deep. Barely on the ground. Living. In. My. Own world. No one else around. Taking. Over. In. And. Out I begin to zone. Want. You. All. Just please. Leave me alone. All. Alone.

The Passive Suicidal

I like swimming in empty pools. I like speaking with dumb fools. I get off on watching TV shop. I steal chewing gum until I drop. I don't need no damage. At least in this I manage.

The Artist

From the day you first live It is easy to think That life would forgive That you painted me pink. An innocent child At the age of just two Thaught that life would be mild When you painted it blue.
