Klonopin

I’m scared of standing still I don’t resolve, and I never will Chasing dead ends to fulfill My home is filled with the sound Of bridges burning down The edges that surround The relief I never found I was burning to the ground And I sat there looking out There’s nothing left here now One pill, you can’t stay the night Two pills, I can’t stand the sight Three pills, I made it alive Four pills, I became the lie Five pills, they don’t ask why Six pills, remove the knife Who are they, and who am I? I hate to ask because I hate to fight I’ve learned the enemy is inside
