Deception

The other me, you know, the one that's always happy?

Do you know where he went? I don't know where he could be.

Did he say why he left? I need him you see,

Because without him my life is complete misery.

This new me, he's sad, and he is hurting inside,

And it seems as if my mind is just along for the ride.

My moods, they go up and down without hesitation,

And when it comes to the drugs, their is no moderation.

I'll drink it down or snort it up.

Just give me pills in my hand or booze in my cup.

I think the old me left because I pushed him away,

If I changed maybe he would come back and stay.

I just want my smile to come back, and my life to be stable,

So that I can say goodbye to this depressing fable.

But I don't know if he will ever return,

So I guess until then, I'll just burn burn burn.....
