Drink to Obliviation
Drunk again.
I suffer in silence,
Alone with troubles untold.
Waiting to die,
I've got no vestments,
No holdouts left.
No one to call my own.
One cannot say what troubles,
When to think obscures the truth,
And to state ones mind,
One must become a champion.
A loser.
No winning here.
You will lose your hope.
You will lose your dreams.
You will lose your love.
You will lose your life.
There is nothing for you.
Where to from here,
When all is absent?
When we learn that heaven is...
I suffer in silence,
Alone with troubles untold.
Waiting to die,
I've got no vestments,
No holdouts left.
No one to call my own.
One cannot say what troubles,
When to think obscures the truth,
And to state ones mind,
One must become a champion.
A loser.
No winning here.
You will lose your hope.
You will lose your dreams.
You will lose your love.
You will lose your life.
There is nothing for you.
Where to from here,
When all is absent?
When we learn that heaven is...

Rambler
Been up for three days with a hole in my head
nobody's coming to help, they say that
these things just
happen
Rattling off reasons
to keep every stitch of the pain in
This couch is waxed in a poisonous slick
the bitch of it is
I won't stop sitting in it
nobody's coming to help, they say that
these things just
happen
Rattling off reasons
to keep every stitch of the pain in
This couch is waxed in a poisonous slick
the bitch of it is
I won't stop sitting in it

Caught
The devil's in my head again
Making me think his evil thoughts
Telling me there's no use running
Cause i'm already caught
Feel my time is at hand
Could be any day
Destruction seems ingrained
Just looking for an oncoming train
See all the cuts and burns
As scars from the past
Just another sad reminder
This body won't last
Pills and booze
Always on my mind
Wonder if I'm
Gonna lose the game this time
But noone can help me
If I don't want it myself
I've grown comfortable ...
Making me think his evil thoughts
Telling me there's no use running
Cause i'm already caught
Feel my time is at hand
Could be any day
Destruction seems ingrained
Just looking for an oncoming train
See all the cuts and burns
As scars from the past
Just another sad reminder
This body won't last
Pills and booze
Always on my mind
Wonder if I'm
Gonna lose the game this time
But noone can help me
If I don't want it myself
I've grown comfortable ...

pay it forward
I don't make a habit
of giving my number
to drunk women
but I couldn't leave her alone
to cry out her soul on the sidewalk
She talked of loss
and hate and loneliness
and while her story
isn't a mirror to
the heart lines on my palms
I held her hand
like we were temporary soulmates
gave her my number
and slipped a twenty
into her jacket pocket
not caring what the money
trickled into
Because I know what it's like

for the love of sleep
The drugs merge in my system
take me under
and for a while
I can sleep
four hours
not enough
never enough
And this exhaustion
has me wondering
if I can shake the tree
of unmentionables
to see how long it takes
to get me some Special K
but I'm already straddling the edge
between what's legal
and what's not
and I'm not desperate enough
...yet
And I wonder
what's so wrong with me
that I'm losing time
to daylight dreaming ...

You tell me you're tired of chasing
this benzo hole
you've found yourself in
yesterday was a bad day
too many pills
and not enough escape
And honestly I didn't see
this conversation coming
didn't think you had the insight
after watching you fuck yourself
up for months now
stealing my prescription drugs
telling me you'll pay me back
you just have to get a doc
to sign off on what you need
(and you can always get
what you need)
And I want to believe
we're on the same level ...

looking for the light
I got CBD oil for anxiety
body relaxed but brain racing
and you couldn't fuck this restlessness
out of my bones
and now I watch you sleeping
peaceful, beautiful, brain switched off
and I wish I was where you are
eyes closed, dreaming of better places
than here
Cause I could go for
round two, three, and more
but we're not young anymore
and you prefer the downers
that pool you on the floor
sink you into the bedsheets
and take you away
from this thing we call life
And I wonder why it...

I stand, you chase
I watch you chase empty fixes
let the anxiety fade from your grasp
and breathe in a reality that only exists
on the other side of the drug cocktail you mixed
I can't remember the last time
you fucked me
with nothing but blood in your veins
and I wonder if you like me better
when you're only half in the game
But then you look at me
like I'm the end of your world
like I'm the beginning of everything
like I'm the spark at the start of the universe
And I don't fucking understand
how you can walk...
let the anxiety fade from your grasp
and breathe in a reality that only exists

An actor I knew
I saw him sitting alone in the dining room

his handsome face was bloated, and he was

I told him of the Humblebee story when
he played Schultz, and he chuckled
he was a man in agony drinking had

half way fallen
I wake up
reach for my tunes
it's habit now
to quiet some of the noise
in my head
I resist the urge to fuck myself
cause I'm getting tired
of chasing empty escapes
though I'm aching for anything
that feels like
sweet temporary oblivion
I skip the Valium
if I can't see the bottle
it can't whisper the promise
of sleepy numb into my psyche
though I'm thinking about it
It's 7:30am and I'm crying

self medicating
I'm one Valium down
got a joint saved for later
Spent forty minutes
watching porn
trying to make myself cum
so wet
so empty
so disconnected
flicking through videos
trying to find someone
to watch that's not faking it
cause I know what it looks like
to see a woman enjoying herself
and the only thing I'm enjoying
is the slick heat between my legs
though it's not getting me anywhere yet
I'm two Valium down
got a joint for later
passing out to sex songs
in my Spotify playlist...
