Take me with water,
Or even a beer,
Swallow me dry,
I'll wipe away your fear.
I'll keep you warm,
I'll make you forget,
The days of the month, & even when we met.
I come in blue,
And start with an X,
I'll numb you so good,
You won't know what's next.
I'll help you sleep,
For more than a day,
Take two of me,
& I'll show you the way.
Be careful when driving,
Cause you might crash,
And you won't remember,
You'll just feel like trash.
I forgot to tell you,
I'm pretty strong.
I can control you,
All night long.
I'll stay in your body,
& make you want more,
I'll curve your hunger,
Til you hit the floor.
Let this be a lesson,
I'm not like the rest,
Take more than two,
And that'll be your test.
So tell me,
Do you like me?
Would you try me once more?
I promise I'll keep this between us,
Just swallow four more.
I remember the relief
When calm leaked into me
After the little blue pill
Hit my bloodstream
And I breathed
Whispers of peace
It was this peaceful feeling
I craved the way a obese
Woman craves chocolate and
Chicken with hungry eyes
That linger on the desire
With hope that flows through
Crimson veins, wistfully
This was before I knew
Xanax could be lethal
And besides this they were
Always addictive and dark
Like the shadows that fell
Against the stardust skies
After a summer rainfall
It took me longer to let them go
Those friends from a prescription
Than it did to learn to love them
With a breathless color of hope
A thought that told me I’d finally
Discovered nirvana in a bottle
As it erased my fear and worry
Now I know only God holds any real
Comfort and peace – any real relief!
All the love
All the blessings
Blessings that are going
Blessings that are coming
Coming to life
Coming to decrown
Decrown humans
Decrown the earth
Earth gave to us
Earth decaying by human fault
Fault we refuse
Fault we gain
Gain weight
Gain hate
Hate we give
Hate to give in
In love
In joy
Joy we lose
Joy we keep
Keep the hope
Keep the love
Love fading
Love maintaining
Maintaining peace
Maintaining negligence
Negligence for the earth
Negligence for others
Others lives
Others pain
Pain isn’t taken willingly
Pain isn’t questioned
Questioned is the humanity
Questioned are their rights
Rights of the free
Rights they have slaved
Slaved hopes
Slaved truths
Truths they took
Truths underestimated
Underestimated life
Underestimated values
Values unspoken
Values of the world
World we take for granted
World cloudy with xanax
Xanax killing the youth
Xanax turning zombies
Youth
Zombies
Sweaty palms mark this morn.
Boarding a plane traveling away
the look on his face...it is forlorn.
Not sure why on this happy day?
Breathing short, heart beating fast
anxiety shadows over his very soul.
If this feeling keeps on he won't last
Surely he thinks he travels to Sheol
Thank God for the doctor
and tiny little pills.
He pops some Xanax
and fights of the chills.
Ahh, sleeping so sound
nothing can awaken him.
Unaware of the chaos around
someone sings a strange hymn.
The plane begins to shudder
and all the people scream.
Someone cries for her mother
but not him, he's in sweet dream
A violent landing in waters so cold.
Most people miraculously alive
they survived, even the old.
"Oh my God to Sheol we did arrive".
"Slide down the wing
and climb into the boat.
Get the hell outta this thing
this plane will not float."
He is shaken he is smacked
"Wake up, wake up and get out"
But because courage he lacked
he sank to the bottom no doubt.
I'm so sorry about the pills
I never meant for this but it kills
Xanax and Valium were supposed to be my thrills
but a simple extra pill left everyone with chills
Barely able to focus I hear all the shrills
The ambulance pulls up quickly as I fall
I heard myself talk but I couldn't remember how to call
Everything goes dark
Leaving the light spark
Hours went by
People could only sigh
As I woke up I cried
Once again I failed when I tried
But I won't give up on you...
Xanax and Valium
cross hangs down, silver hits the desk as i inhale. i try so hard to be good but this feels better.
the relaxing god, the fanatic inside the savior inside who helps me through these sweaty nights.
serenity is soothed in silver. and its 1+1+2+2+1 and the lights are burning my face.
ive got a new dress. i dont wanna burn it up, stay awake.
little rituals. little ways and parts and places. the real world is approaching fast,
i wanna stay here in this bubble, i wanna live where no one will ever hurt me again.
only so much powder and the pain is not in your reach.
teeth hurt but the clenching ended days ago.
i beg for sweet sleep, but to not dream of vows and coins and promises.
the commandments make me itch and your prayers are like angel dust.
i beg for sweet sleep, not the hard plastic chairs and the counting of days and the very special anniversaries, you all are stunning hipocrites.
so i bend again to the table. and i scratch and i bleed.
and i make it perfect for my eyes.
and i let the silver swing down to the wood and the clank it makes.... makes me feel like i am home again.
and the radio doesnt matter anymore and the lies are all gone and i sink back into a very real reality.
