When you go on cloud nine,
Grin till your face aches
Laugh till your throat hurts
Drink till you're a wasted psychotic pendulum
I tried to sweep away
The empty feeling nagging at me
The tiredness flashing throughout my body
The urge to hide trying to steal my mind
Then I finally realise that I was just
Grinning to act the norm
Laughing to fit in and
Drinking to drown myself and my
Suffocating pretence
