​Ode to Caffeine

I drink you to feel alive

To put my life into drive

And at first it feels great

There’s nothing I can’t do or make

But over time

I come to find

That there’s nothing behind my eyes

And I’m struggling to say hi

I’m going a million miles per hour

On a tank long gone sour

Everything becomes a glitch

And I’m walking around like brains give me the itch

It’s hard to put you down, you little black devil

And when I do, my next two months are in trouble

You hang on a little too tight,

I still sometimes lay awake at night

And dream with my eyes open,

Until sleep makes me feel a little less broken
