Untitled

I didn’t drink to feel alive,
I drank to fade away,
Wasn’t chasing any high—
Just trying to keep the dark at bay.

I poured another just to blur
The noise I couldn’t outrun,
Every swallow numbed the edge,
But never fixed what I’d become.

I wasn’t looking for a thrill,
Just a moment I could rest,
A little silence in the storm
That’s been raging in my chest.

Heavy blues, blues
