Tunnel
Push, push, push it away,
The memories, emotions,
watch them sway.
Burn, burn, burn the pain,
Erase the guilt, from the page.
Steal the story written in Blood
Brace yourself for the flood.
The world you know comes tumbling down.
So once again, you wear a frown.
Drink, drink, drink away,
Same old problems,
different day.
Numb to the substance,
Numb to the high,
Oblivious to the world passing you by.
Run from your problems,
Hide from your fears,
Chasing Madness through the years.
Through the tunnel,
Down the hall
Waiting for the hammer to fall.
Lost in transit,
thoughts in your head,
Through neighborhoods filled with Dread.
Long for the future,
Wish for the past..
Euphoria comes to you,
Finally, at last.
