Alive & Well

I need some water I’ve gone

A little hazy, I’ve gone

A little crazy, I want

You to understand

It’s no secret I’ve worn

Many faces I’ve torn

Through many places

As fast as I can

But I don’t want to live, I

Have nothing else to give, I

Can’t keep going on

In this sacred space

A cry for help, a call for

Affirmative action, all for

My satisfaction

I’m so used to this place, yeah

I’ve lost a lot in life, I’ve

Barely multiplied, I’ve

Squared my future right

There’s nowhere else to go

I feel trapped in here

I feel strapped in fear

And I’m pleading, dear

For you to take me home, but I

Know you can’t anymore, that’s

Not what love is for, it’s

Not a giving war

You were the right one to press

All this swirling causes

Acute twirling pauses

My brain is

A cold black mess

This is the end here now and

If you’ve kept the count it’s

Not looking good for me

I’ve lost to myself, so

Lift your head up, darlin

I’ll be gone by mornin’

And no I don’t mean

Alive and well
