Good Old Days?

I can’t be bothered to try and redeem myself

So this state is what you’re left with

Try breathe into what was the life of me

The hair-down that turned septic 

But is there really any reincarnation

Of those special bits once they’re messed with? 

I had a right little monopoly on motive

Had all these parties I’d collected

It’s been years since I picked white crust

So God and I, we blessed it

Bored shitless since I 

Rejected, rejected, rejected

And in life’s gluttonous irony

That’s the side of me I’ve protected

Was it ever really full of zest

If a chemical was what made it energetic?

Still I let it die, let it fall

And all I wanted just projected

I tell you “don’t do that, you’ll end up like me”

And on you run as expected

But I’m still looking for that little piece

Because since I got free I’m fragmented

As I got cleaner, older, more established

My mind turned more eccentric

I’m all over the place, mirrors and space

I float like I’ve got my fingers in the electrics

But the zap does come, I hit the ground

Needing some pick-me-up that’s expensive

I’ve got nothing to run from anymore

But it was that pace that head kept legs with

And I don’t think I was born for meander 

So drugs and drink I made bed with

That bed turned cold, into black hole

I avoided total swallow and still I regret it

Yet another year earns a token

And to my efforts I’m empathetic

That little voice in my ear

Instructs so sweet to wreck it

But it would be the end of me, of this, of us

If I listen, and do, and let it.
