Smoke away all the problems
Cloud your mind with the fog
I’m too beat up for this ****
I’m too tired to care anymore.
Keeping quiet underneath the lighter
How many times do I gotta say it?
I’m just always ******* tired.

And it hurts to even move.
Nerves of steel melting away.
My body doesn’t know what to do.
Leave me alone.
I’m making love to the trauma that you left.
Serpents swimming in the back of my head.

Call me later.
I’m too busy sleeping.
There’s something greater.
Not strong enough, a simple weakling.
Never said it aloud, but I’m far from proud.
And that’s all I’ve ever been thinking.

Shoot me a text, reply fast as ****.
Six hours later, I was never enough.
Pack up my ****, you threw out my stuff.
Told you I’m leaving and you called my bluff.
The world’s become one massive headache.
If you won’t take me out, I’ll do it myself, for my sake.

Don’t call me later.
I’m too busy making up my mind.
I’ve fallen too deep.
Too long for me to even find.
Alcohol with no chaser.
Drugs that fit like the design.
I’m ******* exhausted.
Too weak to even wave goodbye.
