Woke up too early
Showered, late for work
Eight hours of
Hitting and kicking
Punching and biting
Screaming and crying
Not a moment of silence
No time to sit down
Focus is out the window
Need a fucking drink
Stare blankly ahead
Watch the clock
Tick
tick
ticking away
'Til it's time to go
Don't waste a minute
Key in the ignition
Foot on the gas
Heart on my sleeve
Stomach in knots
Vicious thoughts
Tear into me
Need the blade
Need it now
One hand on the wheel
Reach for the knife
Pull up a sleeve
Make perfect lines
Sweet, sweet release
Quiet mind
For only a moment
'Til the song does me in
Voice breaking
Tears streaming
Pull over screaming
Lost control again
