Exhausted
I am going to go somewhere get lost
Breathe in deep the air from my car exhaust
I will get dizzy, and I will pass out
I will not cry, and I will not shout
To me, it will smell like your toxic perfume
As the carbon monoxide I consume
As I stare out into the thickening mist
I know your love has driven me to this
Through my veins, the bubbles will run
They will pop wide open before it is done
Like the bricks in Jericho's crumbling walls
I am so tired I know that I will soon too fall
I will fall asleep, and then I will be gone
I am just too exhausted to carry on and on
