Coffee and a Cigarette
I can't get any sleep
The voices and demons In my head Start to creep Playing chutes and ladders With memories From my past Trying to hold on To a single moment It's all blown by Way too fast The sunlight Is weighing down my eyelids Maybe ill take a day off In bed They call me A caffeine fiend But i think of it As a sleep substitute Instead My hands shake I've given up On controlling it Can't tell if I'm awake, No chance At dismissing it I sit alone On this balcony Gripping this cup of rising steam She is more Than everything To me In time i hope, My mind will learn To leave me be
