All Worn Out

I’m All Worn Out

 

Watch your hands,

I’m hot to the touch.

Promise me,

because I’ve had enough.

 

Laugh out loud,

and watch the neighbors stare.

Scream and shout,

I don’t care.

I’m running out,

I’m running out,

I’m all worn out.

 

Christen me,

I need to purify.

Bury me,

because it’s time to die.

 

Spectacle,

Keep drama over there.

Punish me,

I don’t care.

I’m running out,

I’m running out.

I’m all worn out.

 

I need a drink.

I need a smoke,

to enjoy inside my empty heart.

I’m running out,

I’m running out.

I’m all worn out.
