Excessive Intake Of Chocolate Pretzels

Heartbeat in my fingertips
I should know better than this
The comedown is hell
But it’s something I miss
Too much is never enough
I love feeling like shit


10 o’clock and my heart’s still racing
Can’t sleep
My hands won’t stop shaking


I take too much to feel awake
And to forget everything
It’s the perfect type of wrong
Because it doesn’t last long
What’s the harm
I’ll feel better later after I starve


Self hate pouring out of my lips
I shouldn’t have done this
I knew how it would end
But I couldn’t resist
I’ll do better tomorrow
Pretend I’ll try to quit


I like the different pain
I’m the one to blame
For my headache
I finally get a say
In what’s hurting me
Healthy can wait another day
