a dwindling mercurial high

“i wish it wasn’t 4 am, standing in the mirror saying to myself” // “losing your mind in the mirror like you have to”

“i’m drunk in the back of the car and i cried like a baby coming home from the bar” // “screaming in your car in the driveway”

“i find it dizzying, they’re bringing up my history” // “spinning out think your life’s going sideways”

“glass shattered on the white cloth everybody moved on” // “one broken glass turns to total collapse”

“but i stay when you’re lost and i’m scared and you’re turning away” // “when it all melts down i’ll be there”

“i wake in the night i pace like a ghost” // “sleep is so thin, out of habit”

“i wake up screaming from dreaming” // “hard to tell the real from the dreams you imagine”

“maybe you ran with the wolves and refused to settle down” // “when there’s wolves on your track catching up fast”

“if you leave me like a message in a bottle” // “a message in a bottle is all i can do”
