im sleeping on the couch
have you forsaken me
flower in the rain
is that heaven calling

darling in my arms
happens in my dreams
im sleeping on the couch
youre hanging in the breeze

is that heaven calling
satan is waiting
its getting on in the evening
and nothing is happening

drunk in front of Jesus again
I'm paying for my sins
a million copycat saviors
blowing in the wind

last supper saw me drinking
i guess it's kinda funny
jesus is hanging
keeping me company

someone's pouring drinks
but not mine
and this one's on the house
but not tonight

Jesus hangs alone in frame
singing to me softly
drunk in front of Jesus
more of all the same

can't tell what I've done
not this time or last
I'm gonna sleep on the couch
and stop trying to reconnect with my friends

the afternoon is quiet
doesn't help being sober
I'll play some drums
and check the classifieds

shy away from the microphone
what's the point anymore
fill my home with noise
broken bottle nonsense

time to sell the time machines
collected ones and zeros
get back to the basics
and stop trying to reconnect with my friends

lost in thought
you know
half empty
half full

sleeping on the bartop
same old
half open
half closed

bottom of the bottle
one more?
half warm
half cold

caught in conversation
old news
half information
half from the *****

half too much
half not enough
half on the clean
half on the drugs

half in the clear
half for the rush
half on the green
half in the rough

i was so lost
i couldn't see you in the blur
even when i heard you
it was just spit in the sea

now it hangs over my head
are you hanging onto me
when you're running around
I'll be listening

there's so much i need to avoid
and without a direction
it makes sense drinking
whiskey in the morning

i wanted to be a cowboy
keep things moving
look at the stars sometimes
on the trail in the morning

but I'm a child of pollution
and i can't stay gone too long
I'm drawn to the dark
and pain and soot and art

conflict in my insides
needs projection sometimes
barfights, loud noises
and ****** darkness

The world has really gotten to me
And the pit in my stomach
doesnt fill up so well anymore
I've grown bitter
and mean
I'm bored with myself
And overwhelmed by love
