Every time I gulp down

a bottle of ice cold bitter

I'm borrowing the promise of tomorrow

To make the night better

A foolish ploy,

A desperate bid

Of the lonely, the misfit, and the accused

I'm racking up the time I borrowed, wasted, and abused

Now that it took its toll

on my body and my mind,

There's no more end of the tunnel

or silver lining I can find
