Sleeplessness
I haven’t slept in days
I can close my eyes
And see the Polaroids
Of someone closest to me
My senses are real
And I can taste a bitter drug
And that’s love and she cares
Until my eyelids break open
Revealing the motion of sweat
I’m committed to the cure
But it’s killing me for sure
Devoted to this drug
Love is killing me
In her world there’s levity
Love is a pill you can take
And it’s side effect free
In my world there’s gravity
A place where oppression
Comes in the form of
Weakness
Not just of the flesh
But when you test me I tremble
Like cards stacked on the table
Dizziness, anxiousness
A loss of appetite and just pain
I’m committed to the cure
But it’s killing me I’m sure
Devoted to this drug
Love is killing me
In her world there’s levity
Love is a pill you can take
And it’s side effect free
In my world there’s gravity
A place where oppression
Comes in the form of
Addiction
Ultimately I couldn’t put you down
If I wanted to and if I did
I just might forget you
Put on my clothes
Act like I’m real
Step out that door and heal
I’m committed to this cure
Love is killing me
In her world there’s levity
Love is a pill you can take
And it’s side effect free
In my world there’s gravity
A place where oppression
Comes in the form of
You
