SMACKDAB by Tom Jensen
I got lost in an idiot coma
Tangled in weed, my ego and greed, my soma
Dumbed downed to such a degree
Nobody recognized me
When I was lacking form
Oh how the flies did swarm
And other creatures meaning to do me harm
I see what’s bad for my health
Worst of all for me was myself
I was becoming someone something else…
I landed smackdab in the middle of rehab
“Lucky for me it was only weed” reads the hashtag
Worse than just the munchies and constantly being paranoid
Looking back at me I saw a junkie
Who kept trying to fill the void
I dropped the sauce
And kicked the blow
What seems like
Two lifetimes ago
When I was outta breath
I gave up cigarettes
I got just one thing to do
That I haven’t done yet…
I’ve never not had something to help take off the edge
I’ve forgotten what it’s like to live inside my own damn head
I’ve taken too many hits from the bong
That’s usually how I get along
All my life now I’m not saying it’s wrong
My mind’s been reminding me it’s time to move on
I’ve been with too many bitches and whores
I don’t want my heart broken anymore
Bits of glass and blood on the floor
Funny honey I’m the one with my back to the door
I’m still bleeding
Are we even?
I’ve said it before
This time I’m leaving
Yeah,
Time and a lack of proximity
Allows for one to turn friends into enemies
Or change an old enemy into a new ally
Maybe even cut the cord and finally say goodbye
Buh bye
