I like you better when I’m drunk
You wouldn’t like me when I’m sober,
Don’t you dare **** up my funk,
Drag me by the chains on my choker.

Do you mind if I dance bad,
I don’t care that I dance bad,
Do you care that I dance bad,
I don’t care if you dance bad.

Told me Texas was your home,
Now you're covered in sinful appeal,
This conversation's so monochrome,
Let's get up and make a colorful reveal.

Do you mind if I dance bad,
I don’t care that I dance bad,
Do you care that I dance bad,
I don’t care if you dance bad.

Can't find God in clouds I search,
But I found a stray golden light,
It settles into the crook of my arm,
Sleeps worries away on its perch.

I woke up early today,
I noticed some decay,
I thought I was okay,
Instead I've gotta pay,
Just to pave my way,
Out of this disarray.

But if I arrived at heaven's gate,
Would Saint Peter be the one to say,
"You’re flawed but so is God.”
“You loved as you could, gave as you should.”
“That’s enough to receive Heaven’s love.”

I'll be content with this golden light,
For now it's enough to hide the blight,
As I make my way home on this night,
I will make it through despite its might.

I woke up early today,
I noticed some decay,
I thought I was okay,
Instead I've gotta pay,
Just to pave my way,
Out of this disarray.
Funny how someone so skeptical could struggle so hard with something he doesn't know is real.

There's no road on the map,
To meet you back,
Do you understand that?

Cracked my head open,
Can’t help hoping,
Wishing fountain,
Tossed my token.

Rotting youth failing,
Found myself bailing,
While still shaping,
I'll be forever fading.

There's no road on the map,
To meet you back,
Do you understand that?

You love him as I love you,
You hurt as I was hurt too,
You move on as I lay inert,
Apologies if I seem curt.

Really, what else could I want?
Gave us everything we wanted,
Still I remain just as haunted,
Feels like a self-inflicted taunt.

You love him as I love you,
You hurt as I was hurt too,
You move on as I lay inert,
Apologies if I seem curt.

Even so- with a white whale,
I hate to leave it incomplete,
Face meet the street, eat concrete,
It’s only right I don’t bite- just exhale.

Searched the turquoise in between,
Wispy cirrus clouds of tender gold,
Filter light through a sentient fold,
It’s all sublime, simply serene.

You love him as I love you,
You hurt as I was hurt too,
You move on as I lay inert,
Apologies if I seem curt.

Never going to get what I want,
Stay in line until the floor crumbles,
Nothing but sand beneath the linoleum,
All in the name of freedom for our corporate oligarchs.

Seems it’s all in our hands,
Build our own foundations,
Report on the eternal truth,
Even if faced with wretched lies.

I’m going to get what I want,
Fall into my own well-structured line,
Building the road of pure principles,
All in the name of freedom from our corporate oligarchs.

Seems it’s all in our hands,
Build our own foundations,
Report on the eternal truth,
Even if faced with wretched lies.

I keep finding that I cared more than I like,
Laughing whenever you laughed,
Crying whenever you cried,
Feeling judged when you judged.

Like a sinkhole opening up,
Approval of any form,
Being swallowed whole,
Everyone, love me, please.

The desperation seems to scream,
Skin blistering as everyone stares,
Collapsing into my tankard heart,
And I'm sure everyone sees it all.

The desperation seems to scream,
Skin blistering as everyone stares,
Collapsing into my tankard heart,
And I'm sure everyone sees it all.

This is me that was created,
From the dirt underneath,
Bleeding silently in a kitchen,
Eyes wide as I couldn't cry,
Wondering if they really love me.

How the words bubbled up behind your eyes,
A mirage of love and hate in between it all,
Driven backwards by a lack of comprehension,
And a translator that can’t form the sentences.

Pardon my inability,
I’ve hardly any visibility,
Least I can show my gratitude,
All these breathless platitudes.

Hazy against the pale cynical backdrop,
I wish you could see exactly how I’m wired,
Tired and fired up from the inevitable failure,
Formulate the pencil marks into grey cohesion.

Pardon my inability,
I’ve hardly and visibility,
Least I can show my gratitude,
All these breathless platitudes.

To put it simply.
I’ve been dreaming,
Of leaving,
Singing,
Of leaving,
Pleading,
Of leaving
My whole being,
Needing,
Breathing,
For leaving.

Pardon my inability,
I’ve hardly any visibility,
Least I can show my gratitude,
All these breathless platitudes.
