Give me your drug fantasy
My Elixir
I am weak and misplaced in this world
A bubble in a world of thorns
I must harden my skin
Turn it to steel and
I must deaden the emotions
That betrays my inner gel
I need my elixir
My potion of power
To make me strong and unfeeling
With it I can weather anything
I am invincible
I am a monster
Without it I am just another
Weak human being
Subject to feel the world’s pain
I am weak and misplaced in this world
A bubble in a world of thorns
I must harden my skin
Turn it to steel and
I must deaden the emotions
That betrays my inner gel
I need my elixir
My potion of power
To make me strong and unfeeling
With it I can weather anything
I am invincible
I am a monster
Without it I am just another
Weak human being
Subject to feel the world’s pain
harsh symbolism -
strong association between leaving you and facing a stark and real reality;
i'm facing it head on,
into the wind
--
confidence is diminishing
slowly but surely
i haven't noticed yet
--
as i tread though the wide and winding terrain of cold, cracked pavement,
i realize how alone i am in my head...
...
--
each passing car blinds me
i fight to keep looking forward
but all i see is white
and the shadow of my body behind me
i will each one to keep going, to pass me
and to my surprise, they do not stop
almost relieved after the last of them,
i'm startled again by faint voices,
the sloshing of liquid in a bottle in my pocket,
i haven't noticed yet
--
to keep myself sane and optimistic
i lovingly review the warm, calm yet exciting story of a lifetime's adventure
that we wrote into each other's beings in that room of yours
and again i realize how alone i am in my head...
...
i'm taking a walk beside myself
closing in on the end of this lifetime's journey
towards death, i've parted from you
strong association between leaving you and facing a stark and real reality;
i'm facing it head on,
into the wind
--
confidence is diminishing
slowly but surely
i haven't noticed yet
--
as i tread though the wide and winding terrain of cold, cracked pavement,
i realize how alone i am in my head...
...
--
each passing car blinds me
i fight to keep looking forward
but all i see is white
and the shadow of my body behind me
i will each one to keep going, to pass me
and to my surprise, they do not stop
almost relieved after the last of them,
i'm startled again by faint voices,
the sloshing of liquid in a bottle in my pocket,
i haven't noticed yet
--
to keep myself sane and optimistic
i lovingly review the warm, calm yet exciting story of a lifetime's adventure
that we wrote into each other's beings in that room of yours
and again i realize how alone i am in my head...
...
i'm taking a walk beside myself
closing in on the end of this lifetime's journey
towards death, i've parted from you
