a song.

by Andrew S Adams

i want drink myself into a hole/ but i have no excuse/ i have no way to justify/ that kind of abuse// so tonight i'll fill the bathtub/ straight up to the brim/ with some more fleeting hope/ and then i'll dive in// cant escape the motion of reality/ i guess i don't really want to/ it would just be nice to finally/ come over and meet you//

there is somewhere far away/ where you breathe the air/ you were meant to breathe/ in a world we were meant to share// i can not find this/ utopian fantasy/ because i cant escape this/ realm of self pity// somehow i feel when i feel it is wrong/ sometimes i steal, but it goes along/ with the parts of lifetime too long to examine/ when the night in the day and the feast is the famine//

what kind of tempo does this have? that would change my reading it entirely.

The "realm of self pity" line seems a little to harsh in phrasing for the flow you've developed in this piece. The rest is awesome. :)
