Scene One: The Downward Spiral

So write this down…

On the back of an old photograph

It's there to hold a memory you wish to put away

And write this down…

On the back of an old glossary

And try to find the words

You wish that you could say

It's hard to breathe now with the memories

Of everything you could have had

It started on your first intake

Calm yourself down

And try not to blame it all on time not spent

On craving this attention

So write this down…

On the back of an old photograph

it's there to hold a memory you wish to keep at bay

And write this down…

On the back of an old matchbook

And circle all the words

You wish to burn away

Your scars will bleed now when your thinking of

All the times you've felt like this

And all the times you cried

Calm yourself down

And try not to blame it all on time not spent

On not finding an answer

When your told to, you follow

"one more" you tell yourself

but then you hit it till there's nothing left

these bottle blues won't end

'til you know the difference between

your pillow and the floor
