Right Now
Right Now.
.
If you knew how I feel right now
you’d be drinking too
A breath away from ending it all
Feeling lonely
And a very dark shade of blue
The ceiling is coming down
The walls are closing in
I’ve just had too much
And my resolve is wearing thin
.
Another lonely night home alone
No one ever calls and no one phones
I exist and live in limbo
Umbilical chord severed from the world
All I wanted was to get married
And have a baby girl
.
So here I sit in solitude
Can of beer in hand
Trying to suppress the mood
But just one beer
Will never do
.
I tried reaching out
But no one took my hand
I now suffer in an ugly world
I no longer understand
.
I beat myself up
Swear and throw and break a cup
I don’t feel good enough
My waking hours are a nightmare
Daggers to my heart
Laying on the floor
And ripped apart
And in the midst of my nightmare
I can’t help looking back
To where it all began
And when I started to crack
.
I hope tomorrow never comes
I hold on to the night tight
With all my might
How much more can I take
Before I turn out the light
Forever.
