Routine
There are two different people inside of my head
One thinks I'm crazy and one wants me dead
They fight for control, control of what's left
Barren wasteland, a valley of death
Railing some uppers with strangers at a party
Playing piano at the bar until 2 in the morning
Cheap gin and cigarettes
Four more spirits down and plenty of regret
I look good and I feel good
Untouchable, immortal
In control and out of my mind
Tomorrow I'll surely feel horrible
One thinks I'm crazy and one wants me dead
They fight for control, control of what's left
Barren wasteland, a valley of death
Railing some uppers with strangers at a party
Playing piano at the bar until 2 in the morning
Cheap gin and cigarettes
Four more spirits down and plenty of regret
I look good and I feel good
Untouchable, immortal
In control and out of my mind
Tomorrow I'll surely feel horrible

yo this is really fucking good! the first two lines really drew me in and you kept me the whole time. props!
here is a parable that i feel like you may like.
"A grandfather is talking with his grandson and he says there are two wolves inside of us which are always at war with each other.
One of them is a good wolf which represents things like kindness, bravery and love. The other is a bad wolf, which represents things like greed, hatred and fear.
The grandson stops and thinks about it for a second then he looks up at his grandfather and says, “Grandfather, which one wins?”
The grandfather quietly replies, the one you feed"
there is a great podcast called the one you feed, the host is a recovering heroin addict and has some pretty amazing guest on if that interests you
