overrated poisons swirl through my head
they make it hard to think, to breathe, to sleep
all of those things just used to be easy
things move down as they move forward
a slow descent though blissfully
you take it all in stride, and you seem to be at ease
you're welcome in my mind as long as you don't hurt me
things feel heavy when you're weak
lighter with mediocrity
you'll feel stronger yet when you learn to keep
but it's so much easier to let go
and i know it, i'm not trying
i wish i'd stop relying on the likes of these
but i can't because i've lost the how
and i don't know why i'd try
everything just makes more sense if you learn
to let it die
