I thought I could do it
I really thought I was better now
But here I am again
Over looking the world with burning lungs
My breath is wisps of grey
There's a bottle next to me
Why not go all out
It's a party for one
It burns so badly
I want to cough
Choke
I hold it in
I'm good now
The memories flood back
I know this
In and out
It's an easy rhythm
Tap it twice
Watch your life leave
before your eyes
It gets better soon
