-Needle In the Vein
Where do you go when you leave here
Do you escape to that familiar haven in your brain
One of no more suffering
One of no more pain
No memory of where you have been in the real world
Or of things you may have done
There is blood on your clothes
Oblivious to whether you have hurt someone
Empty black spaces in your mind
What has occurred you are unsure
Another needle into already collapsed thin veins
So escape is once again assured
