Sometimes I’m numb as you chase the dragon
To the ends of hell and back
Stopping only for a psychological game
Of cat and mouse
A catch me if you can
Something inside of you remaining unquenched
By the water you drown in
Pushing away with flailing arms
To busy dieing to accept the life preserver
Which floats by unseen
Time and time again
At least you don’t give an excuse
Or pretend to know the answer
Hypothetical as the world seems to you
There is a right and wrong, a way out
Survival of the fittest
But I can’t support your weight
When it drowns me too
