a Flick of a Finger a Waste of a Life
A little therapy box,
Distractions and detours
Stuffed to the brim, this box of avoidance,
Of tears, of friends, of procrastination.
Give me the denial
I can twiddle my thumbs to,
Give me a way to sell
The hours of my life.
Give me that little therapy box,
That addictive little box,
As we kill ourselves to ignore
The fact that our lives are Hell,
The fact that people don't love us anymore,
That you aren't beautiful anymore,
That the people we love are dead.
I NEED that little therapy box,
That last ounce of serotonin,
That box that understands
That I am killing myself slowly,
But it just sucks
and sucks
and sucks
the
life
away.
