THE MANY SHADES OF JORGE GONZALEZ
   
POETRY
the many shades of george gonzalez
''Vicodin Blues''
Written by George Gonzalez

Oh sweet suicide, this aggression's attached to my spine
Oh sweet suicide, this aggression's attached to my spine
And I can't be anybody, anymore

Oh little saint, these American streets are too demanding for my frail bones
Oh little saint, these American streets are too demanding for my frail bones
And there isn't anyone to run to, anymore

Oh melodic sonnet, I've seen the rigid edge of this wicked world
Oh melodic sonnet, I've been to the rigid edge of this wicked world
And now there isn't anything worth dieing for, anymore

Oh lonely insomnia, these tired eyes no longer know how to dream
Oh lonely insomnia, my tired eyes no longer know how to dream
And I'm not so happy, anymore

Oh luscious suffocation, turn my face into that handsome shade of blue again
Oh luscious suffocation, turn my face into that handsome shade of blue again
And I can't get a hold of my xanax, anymore

Oh vicodin blues, our mistakes have got a chokehold over me
Oh vicodin blues, my mistakes have got a chokehold over me
And there isn't anything I can do, anymore

Oh molested reality, your asphyxiation is raping me within you
Oh molested reality, your asphyxiation is raping me within you
And I can't be what you want me to be, anymore

Oh self destruction, abusing you fills me with pure relief
Oh self destruction, abusing you used to fill me with pure relief
And I can't hold on, anymore
