Xanax & Wine

My cell is ringing, no ID/I want to know who’s calling/
My garden’s overgrown/I go out on my belly’s crawling/
I got CCTV, pornography, CNBC/
I got the nightly news to get to know the enemy.//
All I want is a picture of you/All I want is to get right next to you./
All I want is your picture in a locket/Your face in my pocket
Take a pill to stop it.//
Take me, save me from myself/I know that you’ve been good to me
Now I need you not to be/Wake me, I fear I can’t be asleep
I’m buying things I cannot afford/I’m on a high diving board
Two drugs keeping me dry/Xanax and wine.//
I’m going nowhere/Where I am, it is a lot of fun
There in the desert/To dismantle an atomic bomb
I watch you shadow box/Check the stocks, I’m in detox
Want a lot of what you got/What you got can make this stop.//
All I want is a picture of you/All I want is to get right next to you
All I want is your picture in a locket/Your face in my pocket
Take a pill to stop it.//
Take me, save me from myself/I know that you’ve been good to me
Now I need you not to be/Wake me, I fear I can’t be asleep
Try not to look so bored/You’re buying things you cannot afford
I got your drive, I know you want my/Xanax and wine.//
Don’t you worry ‘bout your mind/Seems I worry all the time
Don’t you worry, you’ll be fine/You should worry ‘bout the day
That the pain, it goes away/You know, I miss mine sometimes.//
There is no fiction/That will truly fit this situation
I’m documenting every detail/Every conversation
Not used to talking to somebody in the body/Somebody in a body
It’s somebody in a body/In a body there’s somebody...
