idk

fucked up when i wake up
codeine in a double cup
crushing xanax in a coffee mug
slip another underneath my tongue
might die from these prescriptions
but i guess death is all i want
because growing up all i ever knew was feeling numb
i'm a skeleton with a hollow tongue
a hollowed out shell of who i though i was

but she still calls me baby
screams it through her amber eyes
and i had nothing to live for
an empty heart but you crawled inside
i've been coming down lately
try to push the pills aside
so i'll make something of myself
so i can give you my life


woke

Immature

Coltrane's out of breath

Lyrics:
The welcome signs are withdrawn. Through laced windows
The cinnamon shops still smell of marigold.
Oh something to drink, to learn, or to pray for;
I've been counting the time by the packs in my coat.

Lift my head
Write my bible in arabesques:
A sacrament in spent matches on the bed.

Don't turn away,
Know some things are meant to stay:
An amber ring, your verse engraved.

Chance left loose change
In the fissures, the sofa frame;
My wish, I'm a wisp in your gaze.

But the lines rang like Coltrane,
I'm awake,
A wisp, a whisper to wane.
