    Rude Awakening

    Get home, Long day
    Smells like - Decay
    Drugs on the table and they want me to play
    Take another fix to make the pain go away

    Breath in, Breath out
    Sedate - Self doubt
    Heading down that old familiar route
    Everybody knows just what Im talkin' about

    And I think Im sick of thinkin'
    Guess Im livin' sick of life
    My dreams all make me bleed
    Because reality's a knife

    Get drunk, get high
    Get through - Get by
    Every sober moment I spend wanting to die
    Dwelling in my problems leaves me empty inside

    And I think Im sick of thinkin'
    Guess Im livin' sick of life
    My dreams all make me bleed
    Because reality's a knife

    I'm amazed by how much of your work is similar to mine just in different words. However, you manage to convey yours much better for some reason. great job

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
