I'M a Junkie

Addicted to somethin’ My thoughts no longer own A fish tank full of submarines Swimming schools of piranhas Waking up soaking wet Sharks swimming in my sweat Sleeping on the cold floor Petrified to close the door Or open when closed...nightmares Circling ahead...flocks of aeroplanes Like vultures to a carcass Feeding on my burnt ashes Overindulgence in fantasy Thoughts amputated from reality Monotones ringing in my cranium Press the button to a new continuum To end this paralyzing paranoia That feeds my insatiable insomnia
