I haven’t found a reason yet
in empty shots and used cigarettes.
I can’t separate my mistakes and regrets.
Mute the pain, dilute the trade of cause and effect.
Though I’m gone for now, it isn’t over yet...
Wake up in a mountain town.
The sun is high, my spirits down.
Two weeks to rehabilitate.
Wildflowers line the way to the place I spend all day
A circle in the ground.
Face myself for miles around.
They say I burned out before my flame was lit.
They say the aftermath of smoke proves it.
They say I washed up before the tide rolled in.
I drowned before the shore sank in.
I have no breeze to blame.
So I make a fire from sticks and flint,
watch it flicker, change its tint.
I make a fire and smell the stink of burning plastic, boiling ink,
and stick it in my veins.
I’m giving up on everything.
Everything but the pain.
Find a cure, please find it fast,
whether pistol grip or broken glass,
just don’t let them take it all away.
Don’t let them take me away.
