Cook the brown
\nFill the syringe
\nFind a vein
\nNot on the edge.<\/p>\n
Sharp sting
\nOf anticipation
\nKeeps self loathing a bay
\nTime for time to stop
\nFor me to go away.<\/p>\n
Caught the dragon
\nThat first time
\nMan it was good
\nNow I realise
\nSyringe ryhmes
\nWith orange
\nWhen I add
\nA little blood.<\/p>\n
Press down slow
\nFeel the itch
\nAnd forget for a while
\nThat life’s a bitch.<\/p>\n
One misery not chosen
\nOutside control
\nSwapped for another
\nThat I can own,
\nThat I can turn
\nOn and off
\nBy taking a hit,
\nAnd making
\nThe chosen misery
\nFade,
\nFor just a little bit.<\/p>\n
You catch the dragon once
\nThat’s his trick
\nYou spend your life
\nIn vain vein misery
\nChasing
\nThat first pin pick.<\/p>\n
That first rush
\nThe last time
\nYou’ll ever feel
\nHeaven when you push
\nThe brown inside
\nBut it’s your misery
\nAnd yours alone
\nIt lies to you
\nBecause it’s you
\nBeing owned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
