Music as a Drug Pt. 2

-Prescription I know I trust you, I really do But in your silence I'm trying to go where I should It redirects my eyes to a place where things seem lighter Away from what is real and wanting to take me down Music as a drug Not an addiction, Just a deflection In my dealings With lack of worth Music as a drug I’m self prescribed on music to help with tasks, and not to escape It acts as a crutch to help me walk with a little more ease But I know I'm using it to act like I’m am fine Drowning out the stress of the situation to make it until winter arrives Music as a drug Gets me through life Music as a drug It's getting me by Music as a drug Is the reason I can’t hear You Because I'm drowning out the day? I've forgotten how to slow down Lost time will never stay Music as a drug I'm lying to me Music as a drug I’m scared I’ll O.D. -All is Noise Not a single moment of peace All is noise Noise to drown out other noise All is noise Not a single moment of peace All is noise Just a battle of sound All is noise To place my attention elsewhere All is noise Damn it, I am just misleading myself I'm not okay Everything is cacophony As I switch between every noise All is noise -Pendulum Swing Is it too much inaction? This can’t be that middle ground Did I mess up badly? I hate an inexplicable part of myself Leading me to hate aimlessly Feeling only a sense of worthlessness When did music become as meaningless as all the shit I watch I cannot focus Questioning why am I living because I'm sure an answer is there My brain is moving at a thousand times the speed of sound My vision is corrupt and my hearing is fucked Am I still in the same place I’m writing this at 2AM I am not living This isn’t what I want to make I want to praise your glory and your love -What Do you Want? Please I’ll do anything I can’t stand this silence Please Just do something I can’t fucking stand this silence Please I need something more Take this away from me I can’t bare it anymore

-i Hate I have this feeling That I keep trying to fight Fighting gets me nowhere Clear my vision Show me why (nothing can change my mind and the clearing makes it seem more right) “I hate myself” Or “I hate my own Self apathy” “I hate myself” Is that an interpretation Of how I'm living If you can call it that? (Now that I feel more free I don’t quite feel this way I made it through this time But it will come another day I know what I sacrifice To keep myself “alive”) -Shut Off Every night I cannot stop My mind From racing through everything I have to do Fear Stays so close Never leaves Triple checking what I must have done wrong Music Soothes my soul Becomes my love Becomes such a drug Music Blends together Become meaningless It is not art that I love -Winter Arrives Nothing has changed I still feel the same way Though I’m freed from what I thought kept me that Christmas feeling of why do I bother when for half a second, I'm okay with being gone There are moments when things are nice But it feels like all that is left is film, games, and food Sorry I wish things were better - I don't know how to make things better I don’t know what to blame - I wish I knew who to blame Maybe we no longer speak the same language Fuck desire Fuck humor Why can’t my seasons change? Emptiness keeps haunting me It was easier when I had a job to blame everything on Or a lack of sleep Or papers to write But the truth is that this is something intrinsic -Afterimage Now things go back to normal Things seem like they were I wished I had valued you more Feeling sadness for the distance I don’t want to return to you I want you here with me Now things go back to normal Hopes were somewhat answered But I don’t know what anything meant And the future remains uncertain

about

It feels lighter now
But for a while I was worried
It is too easy to fall into old means to an end

I know what to fight
