Goodnight.

To sleep like I did as a child.

This won't heal anymore
The wound remains open
Tears flow to fill a boat
That I'll never have the strength to set a sail
I've sunken in bed linen dying of thirst and laughter
The party is over
It was over long before I threw down the bottle
I have to say goodbye now
I don't believe ill see you again
That person in the mirror
He's not worth the agony
So I'll take those pills
To make everyone around him happy
I'll work even harder
Eat clean
Work out
And always do the dishes
Ill sacrifice who I am
To be who they need
Because I've been selfish enough
It's time to succeed
It is a horrific place
A hurricane of blood and sweat
Still I have to be human
And a part of the set
These pieces of the game
They need to move
need to wake up my body
My mind had no hope
Booze and Bullshit was all that was left in me
Just forgive me now
Please have mercy on my soul
Because if I ever wake up again
I don't want to remember what I'd done
I don't want anyone to know
Just read me a lullaby
Kiss me on the head
Tuck me in his blue blanket
Nice and tight
Turn off my light
And say goodnight.
