I'll be going out tonight, I don't care what I do
Hope I wake up in the morning and I'm feeling black and blue
I'm gonna feel tomorrow like a worn down pair of shoes
Only point of this body here tonight is to be used

Turns out it's quite possible all my recent drama is caused by caffeine. Not just the depression and that day of manic insanity, but other stuff, too.
