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
