I'm the only one I would put through this.

A grey patch of cold rotting life "

9 " She is the gin. Cold, intoxicating. Gives you a rush, makes you warm inside, makes you lose your head. Take too much, it makes you sick and shuts you down.

He is the coffee, hot, steaming, filtered. You have to add stuff to it to make it taste good. Grinds your stomach, makes you jittery, wired, and tense. Bad trip, keeps you up, burns you out.

Coffee and gin don’t mix, never do, everybody keeps trying and trying to make it taste good. "

Part of me that walks with a slow aching step

So what are you doing taking drugs?
Why are you putting cigarette smoke in those beautiful lungs of
yours?
What are you drinking that poison for?
Weeks ago sections of this city burned to the ground
For nothing
Months ago my best friend was shot in the face and killed on my
front porch
For nothing
Life time’s up for him
You’re different
You’re alive, you’re breathing
I’d like to see you stay that way
Don’t do anything for nothing
You’re too important
This trip is all about you "

20 " I’m not going to bother with you anymore
I don’t need all the extra thought
I got enough right now as it is
Not going to wait for your phone calls
Not going to think about you
And what it would be like it were different
It’s not different
It’s like this "
