alcohol is intense
many can see
but alcohol is merely an it
not a shedrugs are potent
shoot into ones vein
but drugs do everything
but make you feel sanesex is thrilling
and makes you feel
but intimacy is the only way
to deem feelings realmusic is familiar
and is always there
but only a person
will actually caresleeping is peaceful
and quite the distraction
but a temporary escape
gives no one satisfactionbut vodka is stronger than i am
and drugs in my veins is not something i fear
because i'm so tired of feeling you on my body
when i know that you're no longer herei'll continue to engage in sex with many
and blast my music wherever i go
because intimacy no longer exists since you left
and the lyrics have become all that i knowafter all that, i'll go to sleep
and i'll dream of what we used to be
because dying in my sleep doesn't seem so bad
if you're the last person that i get to see
