To Keep Moods and Monsters Away

So far from my truth and thrown off balance
Far from my natural state brought on by this bitter taste

Pulling on the same old strings
Compulsively craving the same old things

Drifting further and further out

Mixing a bit of this, taking a bit of that
Say a prayer and hope its enough to keep moods and monsters away

Familiar tricksters stir confusion
Like contamination rising from depths once kept dormant
Misleading into delusions

The stars and skys are falling
Blackness encroaching
Creeping silent and unkind
Ripping pieces apart inside

Too many experiments with chemicals internal
Resulting in darkness eternal

Tweaking
Blending
Combining
Confusing
Crashing
Crying

The light is dying.
