Thank God I Didn'T Do It

Staring at the bottle
in my brother’s closet
This is the point
at which I’ve finally lost it
Liquid escape, intoxicating release
You’re the one I need
the only thing that will keep me from knowing
this disease is preying on me
She left me for no reason
as the Summer season just began
Then she blocked me out completely
pretending I was dead
Failing to see
that what she did to me
had killed all joy inside my head
and made me live a life of misery
No real explanations,
only excuses and attacks
on who and how I was
I need this one release
I beg you please
bring relief however brief it may be
All I want is to fall asleep
and not dream of her
All I want is to pass some time
and not think of her
All I want is to finally be free
from this grip she still has on me
