War

Nightmares toss and turn Screw it I'm awake Drink breakfast will I never learn Lashes sobriety smiles, all fake I hate myself vodka softens the blow Try to act normal but I know that they know You want to save me from me I am a vicious enemy Standing out on this ledge Ignoring the love you pledge Things are looking way too grim Jump in the deep end I can't even swim I don't care if I even survive I know I can change I lack the drive Don't ask if I'm okay I don't feel like lying today Can't sleep drink some more It's me against me in my own war
