My Slow Demise

by Cameron Paiz   Feb 10, 2006


Always the topic
of the conversation
Who'd thought I'd sit
back and cause a sensation

Try to break away
from the rumors and
step back from the light
No more hardcore parties
that lead to the usual fight

Haunting cries for
just one more shot
From the girl at the party
that is just so damn hot
How do you tell a beautiful creature
like that "I'd rather not"?

Relentless parties till
the break of dawn
Damn boys I don't know how
much longer I can carry on
Waking up passed out on
the cold, wet, frosty lawn

I can feel that my body
is tired and worn
My mind and soul
are completely torn
All from the endless
binges at night
I can feel the dark part of my life
coming with a terrible fright

It all seems so clear
To solve my problems
I use hard liquor and beer
But is it the answer to eternal bliss?
Will I go towards the light?
Or will I veer of course and horribly miss?
Becoming just another
statistic during the rampant night

The sensation I caused inside
What would you do if I ever died?
Runaway and hide?
But don't forget I shall rise
And be here till the end of time
Because I will not be my own demise
In my secret world of crippling lies
