Simple Sin

Self diagnosed mentality Has been proven insane Yet I know I still have a brain The breakup of family The death of friends Crucifixion of this lonely life Nothing seems to satisfy I’m caught in a rift of fire And burning desire to self medicate And live close to the wire Deeper and deeper buried in a hole I’m told to believe and set my goal They say don’t worry Just breathe in Or will I lose my grip with this simple sin
