why can I not sleep
without 4 cans inside me?
and even then, so pitifully
too drunk to dream
tossing and turning myself off
a factory reset for a factory reject
wishful thinking/mentally listing
the things that displease me
deceiving myself
into believing these thoughts are important
with the warpaint
of unnecessary night food on my chin
‘cause all the tea in china is irrelevant
when you'd rather opium instead
to blow my mind and suck my head
playing dead
but painfully aware
of problems that aren't problems
and the double vision that comes each night
when the drink's done its job and I'm tired
lying to myself that tonight,
i'll sleep sober
without 4 cans inside me?
