Just for a Little While

I don't believe in God

I just want to sleep for a little while

Just for a little while

sleep forget the pain

closed eyes block out light

hope shuddering from truth

I don't believe in Hell

I just want to get drunk tonight

Just for one night to breathe

drink poison to feel alive

cough throat and live a little

dreams staggering from truth

I don't believe in love

I have just felt its burn in my skin

My skin pulled tight against the chill

feel sting of love in bones

lips against skin soft warm

bones broken by truth

I don't believe in the Devil

Yet I have seen his face close to mine

His eyes bright and dark like mine

feel his breath on neck

fallen on ground lost balance

teeth smashed because of truth

And just for a little while,

I don't exist, no spark in me

And just for a little while

I am gone, shadow with no form

And just for a little while

I don't matter, so don't cry
