unlit cigarettes

Drinking caustic caffeination
Sucking unlit cigarettes
Begging darkness for light
Waiting for the day I feel good

Seeing right through me
Sleeping all day and
Doing nothing all night
Waiting for the day I feel good

Thinking I have found me
Closing the curtains
Burning every bridge
Waiting for the day I feel good

Preparing for a judgment
Falling lower than I began
Rising from the ashes
Waiting for the day I feel.

Ooh..this is a really nice piece. The way you repeat the last lines and then leave off good, leaving it just to feel. That's pretty awesome how you did that.
