a little too much with evil
these cold nights
are when the pain
likes to come out
and play
keep me up at night
until the sun starts
to peek out a little
the pills don't work
the alcohol never
lasts long enough
and my imagination
dabbles a little too
much with evil
i suppose i'm just
crazy enough that
a balance is even
possible
----------------------------------------------------------
the first line of cocaine
there's no point
in swearing that
the first line of
cocaine is going
to be your last
trust me
it won't be
----------------------------------------------------------
the hard reality
i think of my old
high school crushes
and where they are
today
how i never hear
from them anymore
how i don't hear
from hardly anyone
from my past anymore
it's the hard reality
of being forgotten
you have no choice
but to lie to yourself
if you want to stay
sane
----------------------------------------------------------
not a concept i am comfortable with
i imagine if i didn't
hate christmas songs
i would have a different
take on this time of year
but happiness is not a
concept i am comfortable
with
sadly, never have been
i look at these scars and
wrinkles and know time
isn't on my fucking side
any longer
---------------------------------------------------------
a dose of reality
happiness
may be a
warm gun
but i have
to think that
a negative
pregnancy
test is right
up there as
well
----------------------------------------------------------
comes with experience
it's an old song
i dedicated to
my first girlfriend
the first phone
number i ever
got
i probably love
that woman more
today than i ever
did when i was
a teenager
a good bit of
knowledge comes
with experience
if you're lucky
of course
