Distorted Reflections

written by: rstephens93

Toss the dollar bills
As you do with the pills
But the two dollar wine on the window sill
Keeps you angry at the pain it refuses to kill

As you waste the day
Sleeping and dreaming about what you thought life would be
But you dangling by a thread just above the fray
And ignoring the signs that you neglected to ever see

I'm tired of watching you get high
I'm tired of you neglected that fact that I've always been here
And you can stop with the fact that you can't fly
But girl you're gonna realize that it's your failure fear

That keeps you sinking in the sand
Of the securities you placed yourself in
And with unsteady feet and unsteady hands
You're gonna half to fall just to begin
