It’s a drug
Think of it as ‘escape’
Just a hole
Just a remedy
And I think you should
Take it
And see if it grows
After all
I think it’s only
Just so temporary
Not complete
Or permanent
Like a loophole in time

And it steadies your brain
Can you still feel your thoughts?
Do they echo inside you
Like emptiness swelling
To the tip
To the top
To the urge and the cusp?
Does it well to your sensors?
My feelings aren’t hurt
‘Cause I’m numb to your words
They don’t bother at all
And so why do you ask?

Well I didn’t
So it’s fine
If you take what’s not mine
I don’t mind it at all
But I won’t catch you
Anywhere you are
No matter the broken glass
When out the window you fall
My sleeping’s outrageous
I can’t feel my eyes
They’re like hot balls of wire
That are coiled up inside

I keep skipping the loop
As this feeling wears numb
Like the blood on my forehead
That I still can’t remember.
You threw that can at me
When you were angry and raging
I said, “I’ll still leave you.”
And you pushed me down the steps.
But I can’t wonder any longer
As this escape wear’s itself thin
And so the rhyming breaks itself loose
Like the drug I felt within.
