The things that live rent free in my mind

eat me at my core and got me in a bind

I don’t know how I got so out of line

vices run rampant through me

addiction is here to stay

here I lay awake

stoned as the stars I see

dancing above my head

as I lay in bed, thinking

waiting, wishing, tripping.

My mistakes have come to haunt

taunt and eat me alive

alll I want is to thrive

and I can’t for the thoughts in my head

have a house they live in rent free

intrusive as they are, what would

I think of if they aren’t there?
