One hundred days go by
a hundred times I want to die
a hundred times I want to scream
is the end near, is this for me
A hundred lifetimes I have failed
though this is wrong for me to say
the lift of hope is far to grim
a hundred times I ran from it
And nowhere will I find this life
the last time I invent myself
the wonders of my brain tonight
as stardust memories delight.

A hundred different moons have come
while sitting at the oceans edge
listening to the casual song
of Neptune's rolling thunder love
A hundred million thoughts increase
as I leaned into my own release
that minute of my last heartache
taken from my own mistake
And nowhere near this life I see
is this the end, the end of me
to hold my own mind at ease
I get a little thrill of me.

A thousand drinks to my demise
have I had to my own surprise
though another shot is always nice
to make the day seem tolerant
Another mile of highway dust
below me rushes past my boot
the wind screaming at my face
forget the pain of yesterday
And nowhere is the last goodbye
inside of me while I ride
till the next time I want to rest
the flood becomes my memories.

A thousand emotions left me dry
a thousand times I heard you cry
and nothing more can come of this
another minute of hopelessness

"A thousand drinks to my demise

I loved these lines...so let's just drink and forget the painful memories...until they come around again...

very emotionally written.
