You can't even fall asleep on your own.
It's the only thing to hold you when you're feeling alone.
One minute they're there and then the next your problems are gone.
You make me feel so comfortable.
You make me tough when I'm feeling vulnerable.
Try to take it away and wake a beast.
Over your loved ones that anger will feast.
The feeling is unbearable like yeast.
The feeling that has you making choices that'll leave you in shock.
The feeling that'll make you poke your arm with a needle biting down on a sock.
The feeling that'll make you feel unheard until you moaning on a c*ck.
You keep chasing this feeling one day your heart will stop.
Straight into a six foot hole your body will drop.
The puddles your people will leave gone take mops.
All because you never got over losing pops.
Or because you couldn't see past the rich people props.
This same feeling will make you sell your soul.
Give away your self control
Do everything you're told
All for shiny pieces of silver and gold
Guess what happened to the ones that fold?
They picked up something so shiny.
Sometimes it's so tiny
But still hold so much weight.
To point it at themselves filled with so much self hate.
Sometimes it's the shiny round thing on the side of your dinner plate.
The fire under it leave you hooked on a feeling you just can't shake.
Stuck in a delirious state
Cause you hate the look of depression on your face.
It can start as innocent as hanging with friends and having drinks.
Until you having withdrawals cause you can't hear glasses go clink.
Now you yearning for the times of throwing up in your bathroom sinks.
You want a burning sensation in your throat every time your eyes blink.
You can't control your thoughts , you don't know who voice you hear when you think.
You feel cold .. nothing can warm you not even the finest mink.
That feeling that'll leave you cutting powder into lines.
So you don't have to acknowledge the hard times.
That feeling that'll leave you rolling dope into big leaves.
Without it you can't breathe like you hanging from trees.
If nobody ever told you this then listen to me.
That addiction is only a temporary ease.
You'll never ever be free.
It'll be a constant battle.
You'll constantly be chasing happiness like a cattle.
Live through your pains
Include these fixes and more problems you'll gain.
You'll remain stressed
You'll remain depressed
Tone out the rest
For yourself do what's best
Don't lose yourself in this test.
