Locked in a weathered freight train
Stranded in a dirty daydream
I lost my way, hitchhiking on unmarked roads
To absorb the rays of your presence.
I’m sweating the way we used to be.
I can’t breathe without you.
I’m swallowing the shit I said to you,
struggling for oxygen.
Together or never
Sober me; without you, I can’t be.
