I live at the speed of my mind, and love with the strength of my heart. I am happier than I have ever been. But only because i know where i have been.<br /> -Corey Taylor

Every nerve ending in my body pulsates at the exact same time, and I hear you.
My breathing is slow, nothing sounds the same. I feel myself fading. 
The world is cold, I can't talk, it's taken their toll on me. I feel myself fading.
I want to hold your hand, but I can barely see. Only, I know you're not with me. I see it all in my head. 
I am falling into an abyss only I can reach, and I'm truly alone. These drugs aren't keeping me here, aren't making me forget you. They only remind me of you.

Drugs would help me sleep, and I knew deep inside that it couldn't keep the memories away forever. So I quit, just like that.
