breathe smoke until you are magic if that's what keeps you breathin' /
darlin' have you ever floated so high ?
hair stiff & drenched in the honeycomb glow of sun / purposeless as day, pretty as dawn, coughing the whole mess of yourself up from your throat
& spitting it out as you fall a little further away from now /
see ?
tomorrow seems easier doesn't it ?
the whisper of it finally dead /
that silly urge to cry has faded off & now all there's left to do is watch the rain pour /
don't you hate yourself a little less ?
your feet are sinking deeper, aren't they ?
into this spoiled edge of earth
inhale once more,
gaze off into that empty sky
see ?
there's no need to be brave here
