Poison Yourselves

I watch as you poison yourself with gold, silver and black
I watch you cry out with your mouth wide shut
Begging to feel okay again
Begging to feel anything again
I watch you suffocate in white smoky clouds of desperation
Where the only dreams that live
Are the hypnotic thoughts your mind alters
Into a twisted reality that you call life
Piercing your brain with broken desires
Empty promises and empty hope
Your mind stops like a broken clock
You don’t know who you are
You grasp for anything to make you feel
You gasp for air, for sanity
But your sanity is gone
Drowned by the poison
And the air has been swallowed by the clouds of desperation
Isn’t it ironic that you beg for air but you won’t let yourself breathe?
You pray for a piece of mind but run from reality
Like you are playing hide and seek with life
You can run all you want
But life has a funny way of catching up with you
