White Picket Fence

The first step is the hardest to fake
Rendered powerless, in a sorry state
Empty out the cup to prepare the mind
Draining out the thoughts that’ll only rob you blind

Your only problem is the one you won’t admit
To the anonymous you haven’t quite convinced
Carefully misused what helped you to behave
Slowly nodding off as they all call you brave

But I’ll wait for you my little one
I gave you all I had

Administered yourself an artificial bliss
Discovered two extremes that couldn’t coexist
Poison in the well that you will soon refuse
Trapped inside the wheel of endless pursuit

But I’ll wait for you my little one
As the sink fills up with my own blood
Thinking of all the time we have lost
You gave it all you had

Yesterday the breeze made me feel alive
Even though I clocked out at half past 25
