I was listless

Liver doomed to the gutter

I was brainless

Drinking until I was no one

It was seamless

The blend of the black from the window

It was painless

Passing out onto the carpet

I didn’t want to feel stupid

But there I was being human

It’s like heaven to just forget it

But it hurts like hell to recollect it

It was easy

Letting go of the minutes

In front of a tv

Numbing the nerves in the seconds

With the color

Fading into the darkness

And the paper

Vacant of any expression

Collecting the dust

It was in my head that you were with me

It was in my head that you could hear me

What an imagination I must have had

What a desperate time that I had

You go your way

I'll just black out

You go your way

I’ll just stay down

You go your way

I’ll just black out

You go your way

And I’ll stay down
