Breaking Down
Caught in the depths of my shadows within
Breathing in the plague of all the vermin
Nauseated stomach and bile on my chin
Lips begin to crack from dehydrated skin
Follicles die out so my hair starts to thin
Hard to move forward when my head only spins
Hallucinations of bright lights and shiny sequins
These days are already over before they begin
My mind rests in pain with all of the aspirin
While drowning out my system with tonic & gin
These days are already over before they begin
Caught in the depths of my shadows within
