In the Reins
This night almost nothing remains
I am kept by these unbreakable chains
I seriously lay in the reins
While you run through my veins
This morning I feared it's too much to take
It may have been our very last mistake
Sadness overcomes me now everytime I wake
Another day of you refusing to partake
And by the time I should have had a shower
I still lay in bed all sweaty and sour
Thinking about things I could let flower
And why I can't function at this early hour
At noon arrives the thought of having you back
Loneliness let's me know I was on the wrong track
My vital signs make me believe I'm under attack
In front of me everything starts fading to black
In the afternoon I feel a little more depressed
Reminiscing about times you left me impressed
Feeling my heart breaking records in my chest
I come to understand you're like all the rest
Evenings usually spent holding a beer
Increasing my chances of escaping this fear
For seconds it seems so very clear
But then you're gone again my dear
Nights wondering about what may remain
Chains keeping me from getting sane
You're still running in every single vein
Tomorrow I'll be getting up again in vain
