You acted as though I was playing with your emotions where emotions run thin Yet I can’t remember the last time I didn’t sit with a sore nose or bloodshot eyes The alcohol is helping me cope with life but life is getting in the way of the only positive substance They call it a bad road acting as if I’m walking ignoring the signs but the avenue I walk down just gives me signs of life without the signs of life Maybe I’m a fool to love or maybe I’m part of a generation that get their kick out of the flakes that fall from the nose that follows the scent of hope Living behind a screen where no one brings flowers but instead encrypt a ‘rest in peace’ to pretend they care in the moment yet only know you behind a name on a page that shows the drought of when you were forgotten I used to swim in the ocean but now I drown in low self esteem with no direction other than when the music fills the club where if you aren’t drinking then you find yourself intoxicated by a life that isn’t worth a second look so you try to write a book to show people the pain but it’s just capitalism for the unsavoury brain of a generation that wait on death and even then you can’t escape because you’re told to choose between good and evil and you haven’t necessarily been good or evil you’ve just been - well, you So you sit on your throne of lies and bring the polish with you to the gates so that you are no longer afraid when it gets to your time but be afraid of the time because the longer you live the more you die.
