Paranoid

On my own searching


Clumps of hair falls out every time I run my fragile hands through


Sinking into your soul


Visions going blurry

I want to restart


Static pulsing through my veins

My ears are shot, they just ring


You’re paranoid


I want to restart


Going back through temptation

Your head drops and swings.

You wanted things to change.

You’re paranoid.

Staring down

Going numb

You’re paranoid.


The needle feels better


Your living for the thrill

It fills a void deep down

Your diaphragm gets filled with poison


Eyes shaking

Your knees buckle trying to get up

To finally be a parent.

The phone is ringing you can’t stand it

You try

But fail

Your lungs are punctured

Bleeding through your ribs

Death keeps cheating on my life


Your child has to pick up your used needles


Only to grow up and do the same thing


We all look the same in the dark.
