1

The whiskey and coke
has tainted my breathe
and blurred my vision
Has it blurred my feelings
too?

Laying with you
The pain creeping in my gut
Dying for those three words
to come from the vocals
of your heart

For those same words
are clawing at my cords
Dying to be let free
Only another drink
will calm them down


2

Calm and dark
Outside alone and drunk
No sounds to be heard but
a lonely barking dog
and a distant freeway

My body is numb
to the chill of the night
Every bloodcell flowing quickly,
racing around
to keep my body warm

Free as a mind can be
I feel nothing


3

Home sweet home
home is where the heart lies
shattered on the living room
couch

Told to feel welcome
That my company is much wanted
Yet your actions prove
otherwise

Your lies flow smoothly through
your teeth
Somehow throwing in what
you want me to do

I know I've failed you
But don't rub your second chance
in my face
Home sweet home


4

A shot down my throat
Breathe through my nose

How can you still feel that way
Are you really that lost
and insecure
I've destroyed you
without thought or action
Not even trying to

Maybe I should have given
that last shot to you


5

A leech on my heart
is like your eyes into me
Sucking me dry of all my
feelings

I wanna scream them out
But that leech holds tight
to my words

I feel silenced
Hands tight around my neck
My true feeling unable
to be heard

Maybe it's good
for they could frighten you
away
but someday
that leech will be full
and let go
Hopefully you
won't follow
