Workout for a Burnout

White powder on an iPhone case Black coffee to mask the taste Rolled bills against my face Usually no one keeps pace Sometimes I believe I've gone insane. My allies made over a pile of cocaine. Veins burning awaiting more. Eyes sore, but my feet seem to slide over the floor. Heart pounding, nerves firing. Tiring, not exhausting. A workout for the burnout. I have few hopes as to what I’ll turn out. Only a mind away. Numb, but alive. I only feel what I'm prescribed I’ll press on, needle to a record. Fuck that. I’m digital, my ideas, critical. I’ll wake up each day with an eye for new breath. I’ll keep moving forward, alone or in union, i’ve got a plan, and I’m gonna seek it. Brick by brick, my world, I’ll build it.
