Twisting and turning
like blood down the drain
the razor that helps you not feel so much pain
the whiskey you drink
reflects in your eye
the smoke that surrounds you
from something you've tried
the smile you wear
to mask all the pain
when inside your heart,
there's nothing but rain
a thick acid rain
that corrodes at your heart
withering away 'till there's nothing but dark.
