However............

CHEMICAL TEARS

There's distance now between myself and the world,

To travel back to reality,

From where I was once hurled,

And leave behind all of this depravity,

Lucky to be on this ride still alive,

Held down to the earth by its gravity,

In the future, not the past, I will now thrive,

I just need to step outside of this cavity,

I've been in it as a prisoner to my own addiction,

For too many hours, for too many years,

These little white pills are my affliction,

And I've shed too many salty, chemical tears.
