Time, Trees and Trapdoors

 
Shuffling through life like a lobotomized zombie  
disconnected, jumping from one tree to the next  
the tree of life holding the hands of time  
 
the tree of death to which my soul is bound  
licking the flames of my own destruction  
slipping in and out of the abyss  
 
the depths of it's blackness drinking from my core  
I jump through the trapdoor of delirium  
where it doesn't matter if i'm a whole soul  
 
my time slowly ticking away  
I've traded heroin for drinking  
there seems to be a void in me I can't fill  
 
the light out of this nightmare  
shines for me but I evade it's warmth  
taking shelter in the cold  
 
I wonder if there will be a trapdoor in hell
