Menace to Sobriety

Every day just gets a little shorter
Looking back when I need to move forward
Death is calling as I take a step closer
Self medication in a world that's been set on fire

Sometimes I wanna go numb
Sometimes I wanna have fun

I keep running from yesterday
Thinking about tomorrow's pain

When you need to just get far away
When there's nothing that you would not erase

Every day I get a little older
Turn around and it's already over
Death is counting and he's got my number
Self medication to find the strength to take another breath

Sometimes I wanna go numb
Sometimes I wanna have fun

I keep running from yesterday
Thinking about tomorrow's pain

When you need to just get far away
When there's nothing that you would not erase

I keep reliving this moment over and over again
I'm not the same damn person I was when this began
So I keep waiting for something to change beyond my skin
I'm slowly poisoned kept alive to serve the one percent

They'll be time for everything tomorrow
They'll be time for everything before we go
We're born into this fucking maze
For most slow death, for others it's a game
We fight, we kill, it's neighbor verse neighbor
We take, we keep, so someone else can hurt

I'd rather leave it all behind
It's easier to blur the lines
