to tomorrow!

to tomorrow! raise another full glass
just like the two before, i swear its the last
it's self destructive but it provides release
i've found recurring but temporary peace

to put it lightly, its just habitual
more realistic, a nightly ritual
the wheel is spinning, so are the walls and floor
don't be alarmed, ill be fine after one more...

just told a story, told it all to myself
distracted though, my eyes just dart to the shelf
where bottles are full, empty the glasses are
convenient, my escape is never that far

my hand, it shakes and some elixir is spilled
i hate to waste but theres no time to slow down
the glasses emptied faster than could be filled
slippery slope, wont be the first to be killed



i took the last line from this one and modified it slightly and used it in another piece i posted a few weeks ago, i think i called that one 'just some nonsense' that line's place is and always has been here, but i liked it enough to reuse it. now i have to come up with a new ending for the other one... d'oh!

I've been drunk every day for three weeks now.

that sounds like me a semester ago. "convenient, my is escape is never that far", love AT. and too true. well done.

Nice man. I really like it. I see why my "Fog of Yesterday" reminded you of it. The two seem very related. Reading this evoked an emotion that I can't quite describe. It's really good, though. I like it.

Love those opening two lines I loved the pace of this..great work..and you had me hooked so well with that opening.

Nice Ryu! The first two lines are great.

the structure in this is very well done. i feel like i'm along for the ride with this person as they self destruct. this is really great.

great, man. love all of it, really, i have no favorite lines in this one. ... ok, maybe:

"my hand, it shakes and some elixir is spilled
i hate to waste but theres no time to slow down"

and this part

"the wheel is spinning, so are the walls and floor
don't be alarmed, ill be fine after one more..."

it reminded me of an episode that my friends and i refer to as "dancing toilets"... good times

haha, i often set out to remind people of toilets

thanks for the feedback, and for all the feedback that you give to all of us in the Release forum. its very much appreciated. keep it up, dea(r)

sweet

i wrote this to the music from satan's bed, i forgot to mention that

Hmm, I think I might like that.

Hi Ryu.

hey there kelly! its always nice to see you in the release forum (or anywhere for that matter). ive been bored lately, and writing a little bit... so ill have some more stuff to post soon. maybe.

Cool. I look forward to it. And I'm glad to see you around. I suppose I could post something again someday.

This, to me, is the feeling of any art created during or as a result of inebriation problems.

I really like it. It becomes direct when placed by itself.

There are, in this world, a great many lines that become transcendental when removed from context. This is one.

wow, thats how i felt about that line as well. though i never thought of it in such an eloquent way.

i hate poetry but i really like this

well done

Sounds like lyrics I could put some music to. Good job, Ryuchaelangelo.
