Overboard
Steady beeping
on the monitor
IV lines snaking through
Narcotics drugging to
lull
Knowing I've had a few
I remember it
clearly
As though it was yesterday
Lights blaring, punches
flying
And drinks along the way
Popped a few
every now and then
Just barely enough to stand
One last hit and
all was lost
Toppled down, drink in hand
I have been
overboard
Though I had always knew
Never been the one to
admit
Thinking it's only a few
I am still overboard
Though
harder to keep inside
All the pain and anger showing
Getting
difficul to hide
Back in the day,
t'was different
A side I haven't shown
I had everything I
wanted
All I get to own
But with one
spark of the fire
All that I gained was lost
The warmth was
gone
Replaced to icy cold frost
I have been
overboard
Though I had always knew
I still am
overboard
Thinking it's only a few
Now I stare
through my window
Watching autumn leaves fall
And I sit on a
lonely chair in a room so dark and empty
and think about the days
when I had it all
I have always
been overboard
Cuts still fresh, still I fought
Blood pulsng
through my veins
Popping one more for thought
I am still
overboard
There's sno turning back now
I will always stay
overboard
To stop, I know not how
