Screaming while crashing to the floor
Falling down into a black hole
Desperation with self-loathing
Do we really have to do this anyone?

Bruises covered with love
Lies made with promises
Bodies tangled with distraction
Who really feels this?

Drinking to cool nerves
Smoking to pace the heart
Sleeping around to feel whole
Why does nothing really work?

Running around in circles
Chasing the pain away
Searching for peace in darkness
How long will living take?
