Black Rain

There's this bottle in my hands
People say it can take me to far away lands
Or into blissful blackness
Grant the wish of numbness
In this world of pain.

Swig and drink and chug
It pulls out all the plugs
I had on my emotions
The world moves in slow motion
Where is my black rain?

Sweet or bitter, dark or light
All meant to bring delight
So why do I feel so empty
Like everything within me
Just went down the drain?

Lights are dim, the music low
All is done, it's after the show
Drinking slow but almost done
I've almost attained sweet oblivion
The break from pain my only gain.
