Slow burn

After...
After all, we are the same as we always were.
We cover and carry on, like
everything's copasetic and
courage we felt at all, feels
like failure overcome.

Sometimes I feel like I can't wake up!

I'm trying to breathe.
I wanna let go, so I can feel again.
I break up.
I'm trying to see if I can
let go and feel again.

Sober, we pulled it off.
I'm clean and I'm cursed, it's one in all.
Forget the chemicals, faking the
sense of self and heart.

Sometimes I feel like I can't wake up!

I'm trying to breathe.
I wanna let go, so I can feel again.
I break up.
I'm trying to see if I can
let go and feel again. Wake up!
Wake up!
I'm not awake. I'm slowly burning away.
I'm not ok. I'm falling flat on my face.
Down on the pavement, I'm fighting the weight.
I'm not awake. I'm slowly burning away.

Sometimes I feel like I can't wake up!

I'm trying to breathe.
I wanna let go, so I can feel again.
I break up.
I'm trying to see if I can
let go and feel again.

I'm not awake.
Feel again.
I'm not ok.
