Overdose
I circumnavigate the room from my chair.
My tears trickle down and form steps in the air.
Step by step I take myself away.
Nothing here could compel me to stay.
I climb higher than ever before.
Taste escape and crave for more.
I leave my seat and take the stairs.
Shed my body and drop my cares.
Now everything is shiney and new.
Covered with sun, sparkling with dew.
The future is bloated with hope,
And there is more at the top of the slope.
The climb is short and the fare is free.
The only sacrifice made is me.
My hand is unsteady, my fingers bleed.
My heart splits open like a barren seed.
Uncertainty pours out like a river.
Shadows fall across my face and I shiver.
Where is the sun? Where is the dew?
It's no longer shiney and I can't see the new.
The stairway crumbles into black dust.
It mixes with my blood the color of rust.
Tremors shake the mountain as I fall.
Everything is gone, I've lost it all.
My tears trickle down and form steps in the air.
Step by step I take myself away.
Nothing here could compel me to stay.
I climb higher than ever before.
Taste escape and crave for more.
I leave my seat and take the stairs.
Shed my body and drop my cares.
Now everything is shiney and new.
Covered with sun, sparkling with dew.
The future is bloated with hope,
And there is more at the top of the slope.
The climb is short and the fare is free.
The only sacrifice made is me.
My hand is unsteady, my fingers bleed.
My heart splits open like a barren seed.
Uncertainty pours out like a river.
Shadows fall across my face and I shiver.
Where is the sun? Where is the dew?
It's no longer shiney and I can't see the new.
The stairway crumbles into black dust.
It mixes with my blood the color of rust.
Tremors shake the mountain as I fall.
Everything is gone, I've lost it all.
