We're alive and drunk
On love and pain
We reach high
We sink low

Rock bottom
Very often

We sink our teeth
Into the flesh
Which is
Our flaws

We pick out
The good
The bad
The ugly
The tragedy

Dust ourselves off
For another day
To take a deep breath
Before we think
Of the rest

We struggle
To keep
Emotions
From seeping out
Which is why
We drink
We smoke
Until it
Knocks
Us out
