Write drunk. Post sober.

Don’t drink when sad!

The world is wonky,

The corridors skew-wiff,

I've been breathing in food,

Exhaling stale shit,

Drinking rum after rum,

Until my tears become stiff.

So scared to death of dying,

I am too afraid to live.

I'm not a fucking phoenix,

I'll burn up once then die.

I've lost my flight,

I'm losing my light,

Losing the sight,

To spot wrong from right,

I've fallen so long,

I might falter,

I might lose the fight.

Give me a bullet to bite,

Replace the night,

A place, a palace,

To face the blight,

Parade my right,

To fucking fade,

All right!

'Cause if I can't,

Fade to black,

I'll fucking Blaze,

Bright white!
