Two Almost Suicides Due To Art Because of Me
laying in the bath tub
he threw up again
devouring the headache
addicted to his worst enemy
i cant tell you the symphony she played upon her arms
the sharpness i tried to keep at bay
how hard it played upon me
i would try tyo hide away
drugs and booze
only numbed me
sleep all day
pretenmd were not fighting
one more day
we can make it through this
one more headache
one more empty bottle
one more psycho drama
one more minute in the tub
laying in the tub
i stopped getting out to pee
laying in the tub all day
add some hot water to keep my stress away
doesnt matter
my only two friends at eachothers throats
then mine
then their own
trying to make piece with tye died flags
and macrame
whats for super
same thing everyday
stole from me again
another helping of the same routine
laying in the tub all day
no escape
no escape
just drying out my skin
to come out of the porceline womb
see the cuts
see the sickness
and then be the one to blame
be the one responsible
be the one chasing them out naked with a knife
hospitalised for bad art
art i never got back
what a waste of a window god never opened
just another closing door
three of us
no more of this two birds stuff
sing us to death
as we think blowing our brains out in front of a canvas
one by one looks good
the good smelly sock of disease
the offbeat step of death
always stalking me
upstairs downstairs
i thought they were my friends
when it rains it pours
i just ran after her naked
and chased him with a knife
not proud of it
then went back to sitting in the tub all day
not sure why they had been soo self destructive
the art of depression
stalks us slowly
stained glass obviously has a high price
