I’m slowly tipping My mind is tripping I don’t drink & I feel like drinking Tired of flipping out I’m tired & there is no doubt
Poetry is my therapy I wouldn’t know what to say I feel a type of way But I drink a potion instead To try to get out of my head

You’re destroying me Slowly depleting my energy I’m trying really hard to stay sane Trying really hard to break this toxic chain
