Switching it all off…
Trying to zone out…
My head’s full of trouble…
My mind’s full of doubt…
In need of something…
To remove this pain…
Release the burden…
And ease the strain…
As I’m falling deeper…
And sinking so fast…
You promised to help…
But your promises don’t last…
You walked away…
Not feeling a thing…
On the cliff edge…
You left me hanging…
Ignoring my words…
And numb to it all…
Your callous heart…
Doesn’t care if I fall…
As your ears don’t listen…
Your eyes don’t see…
You were never focused…
On my desperate plea…
We were friends forever…
Until it got rough…
A fair-weather friend…
Once it got tough…
You followed the path…
Of least resistance…
Only caring about…
Your own fucking existence…
Leaving me drowning…
In this pool of self-pity…
Cold and all alone…
In such a heartless city…
Searching for something…
To take my pain away…
And wondering if these pills…
Will be the easy pathway…
