stop chasing rainbows

why don’t you shut your eyes
again. and try to smile at me.
you just can’t do it.
because you get those pictures in your head.
why don’t you try to dream your dreams.
with your head still spinning from the alcohol
why don’t you slide into your nightmares.
again.

you’re breathing softly on my pillow
and your chest rises and falls
if i had half a brain i’d put the pillow over you head.
hold it down till you’re not breathing.
i’m sick of this game again.
i’m sick of this.
too bad it’s my heart by which i’m lead.
