Ringing ruthless, shrill
In my ears I place a pill
Momentarily numb my brains
To **** the thoughts and blur the pains

Drunk with sheer hopelessness, I am blind
In a daze that’s somehow kind

I don’t wish to deal with hope, it’s what causes global warming
It’s always growing without warning
And hurting people who could once cope

Inside I’m slowly burning
Where’s all that heat supposed to go?
Perspiring all that hurt
That wears the ozone layer
Like rock wears ***
