Still Alive
The colours that you bring to me,
Bitter, sweet, wounded emotion,
Cornered, threatens my mortality,
Sinner, romanticized glory,
Cover of shameful intention,
Take a stool, this is my story,
Relapse, relapse, this ain't a game,
Rehabilitation, again and again,
Reacuring nightmares,
My parents shame,
Anxiety levels,
Ice to flame,
Sweating and shaking,
When 0% proof,
Panic attacks,
Your through the roof,
Pose for the picture,
When the police ask,
Fingerprints, handcuffs,
Alcohol filled cask,
Lorazepam, diazepam,
Temazepam, and more,
Subutex, tramadol,
I Take them all,
Cut and bleed,
Self harming,
Overdose, poisoning,
Jump off scaffolding,
Got my scars,
In my head and skin,
Fighting hard,
And still living......
