I’ve been feeling better after a couple months back in the dark,
a couple disappointing turns I took this year.
I wrote myself a letter and poured everything in ink out from my heart
and gave a name to everything about my life that I still fear.
I found it’s good feeling good and I don’t wanna go back again.
I’ve been craving summer after a couple months cold to the bone.
I bought a round trip ticket to a temporary smile showing teeth.
Spring can be a bummer when the chill still creeps back in the night,
but I wake up every morning and shake my sleepy sense of defeat.
It’s fun getting high but the lows come around in the end,
but it’s good feeling good and I don’t wanna go back again.
I started smoking Spirits after a year spent cleaning out my lungs.
I couldn’t take another second without something just to take off the edge.
But it’s better than the last time when I was busy filling up my nose.
I just need five minutes alone to talk myself off the ledge.
Get busy living or get busy dying, they said.
Just give me one more drag and I’ll get busy quitting again.
