Head underwater heavy lungs hard to breathe swimming through thoughts the thick molasses of memory Two days sacrificed at the altar of alcohol the temptation to drink poison is quite telling Dense, dizzy fog cannot be shaken off I'm getting too old to keep making these same mistakes Why can't I stop tripping forward into failure? my higher self can't hold me back There is a strange sickness somewhere inside me that sours everything a stench of burnt sugar saturates my cells No swift violence can fully cut it out crisscrossed incisions carved into soft flesh were never worthwhile Stop this ceaseless spinning the sickening swirl that swells and consumes common sense save me from the inevitable cascading crash of myself
