I tick and I tock, just slightly lost And I drink scarlet wine not for the taste, no To silence the beats in my depth Stop the dripping, the pain The haze, the glamour of being a mess The cork, the bottle just the right shape Slick, slide it up slowly High thing glass, sweet smell Pretend you are something else Wrong time zone, benzodiazepines Plath's verses, your truths, your dares

Sideways
I tick and I tock, just slightly lost And I drink scarlet wine not for the taste, no To silence the beats in my depth Stop the dripping, the pain The haze, the glamour of being a mess The cork, the bottle just the right shape Slick, slide it up slowly High thing glass, sweet smell Pretend you are something else Wrong time zone, benzodiazepines Plath's verses, your truths, your dares
