Take the edge off

I find myself

signing,

coping,

with all the things I can't express.

I find myself

Trying,

Failing,

Is it over yet?

I find myself

drawing,

writing,

just to feel some change.

I find blood on my hands

just to feel the pain.

To take the edge off

all the madness.

To try to

suffocate

this heart that I have.

The confusion

dulls my senses.

All the voices

surround me

I'm going to hide

in the maze of my mind.

It takes the edge off all the madness.

Each day becomes a hurtle of greek fire and hell.

It takes the edge off all the madness,

when I think its all

a silly game

and forget what I found.

Take the edge off

all the madness

memories

disappear

the silence remains

Take the edge of all the madness

I find myself

listening

to this unrelenting pain

saying to end it all

in one fell swoop.

A dive

off

a mountain,

a pill in my booze.

Take the edge off all the madness

till I can see

till I'm home again

whisperin'

suffrin' in silence

Take the edge off all the madness.

Dopamine

taping me

up like I'm broke.

Take the edge off

all the madness.

Whatever is

giving me

a second of sane

Take the edge off

all around me

reality

starts to fade

what did I say?

Take the edge off

all the madness.

Dopamine

sing to me

the song of a

pause in time

it takes the edge off all the madness.

Dopamine,

sing to me,

till I can't compound

the pain, again.

soaking

like a

title wave,

drowning in

all that I am

Take the edge off

all around me

let reality

fade away

replaced with a maze

of shame.
