Feel it in my bones
Dejection takes its hold
Creeping through the back door
Burning down my front porch
All it takes is one word
Do me in like a coward
Brace yourself for impact
Is my heart still intact?
Can’t control the word flow
Demons in my head tomorrow
Or was it today?
Never mind that, I’m not ok
Leave me to my vices
Who cares about my sin?
Wait, everyone does
But only because
It’s fodder for their discussions
A hiding place from their sins
Laugh while you have the breath
Knock, knock, here comes death
It won’t be long now
Breathe in, breathe out
Feel it in my bones
I’m giving up
