Unorthodox Love

To My One and Only Love, 

I tried to fall asleep, I just kept shaking; 
‘Cos every time I close my eyes, 
I feel your heart’s mine for the taking.

I’m lost in my dreams, 
Reality is no good to me.
Falling faster into dementia, 
Allowing this euphoria to take over.

My brain’s having spasms, 
I’m no longer in control, 
Here you stand next to me, but still, I feel all alone.
Nowhere to go, nowhere to stay, 
I guess my mind’s just running away.

No longer sober, no longer sane, 
This is a drug; a personal dose of cocaine.
I’m free from my troubles, 
You are my only concern.
I’m free from my pain, 
Life is no longer a continuous burn.

So here I am in this state of euphoria, 
Falling faster and faster into this so-called dementia; 
I try to fall asleep, I just keep shaking, 
I can feel your heart, and it’s mine for the taking; 
No longer sober, no longer sane; 
You are a drug; 
My personal dose of cocaine.
