I drink whisky
While she drinks wine
All I know
Is I have run out of time
She's heard all my lines
About how she's a queen
And I'm the outcast

*

So tonight drink
for all the Queens
I'll rasie my glass
For all the pariahs
The beginning and end of a story. I'll work on the middle when I can figure out how it goes.

I feel like I'm going down the road
With no destination
And I am leaving this place
That I once called home

I feel like I'm going down the road
An open highway
Without the lights of other cars to guide me
Far from this place I once called home

I feel like I'm going down the road
Stuck in the passenger side
At at the helm of this machine
A beautiful face
Her name is depression
And she's become the one I love

So take us where ever
Sometimes I wish she'd drive
Us off the road
So I can finally feel peace

I ran away years ago
I just had to get out and go
Leave the fire flies.
Forget how my heart cries.

Lost myself in you
Now you're gone
Found myself in a bottle
My lonely self

Of all my sins I'd say the best with you.
From the ***** and the bars.
To the ******* and late night cars.
I've never been addicted to anything.
Until you.
So now I spend my time itching and scratching.
At this body draped in skin.
Just like every sin.
I wish you would have let me in.
Now I'm not worth a dime.
And I've spent all my time.
Writing you these ****** up lines.
So now I'm back at your door.
Begging for more.
But I know what is in store.
Laying broken on the bathroom floor.
I'm not sure what my problem is. Letting someone get ****** into my head. Letting them get the better of my feelings. I know better. But I couldn't help it I guess.

There is always something remarkable, about falling in love with a vagabond.
They way they come into your life to steal your heart.
Almost like it always belonged to them.
And you think you can fix them, love them.
How foolish.
I like to think they keep a little piece of their lovers as they drift through life.
They keep it in a little box hidden in their room.
Somewhere, obvious.
But not easily seen.
And they pull that little box out from time to time to look at those former lovers.
Not because they miss you.
But because they miss feeling whole.
And they hope one day.
They can take all those broken pieces, and make something beautiful.

I wish I could make something beautiful.

Just so you know
I think I'm getting better
Just so you know
I met this girl

She's a crazy mess
But **** she's so blessed
And in that red dress
All the wolves will be after her.
They are out to eat her whole.

Just so you know
I'm a worthless wreck
Just so you know
That girl doesn't have eyes for me

So now I'm here
Drunk and looking
For her in that red dress
But I think they got to her first

Just so you know
I'm wondering alone again
Just so you know.
I'm lost in the snow

My footprints trace back
to the night we spent
Maybe she was the wolf
And I was just the one dressed in red.

Happiness isn't a forever feeling.
It is fleeting, it can be rare, it is to be cherished. That's why when someone gives us happiness, they are giving you something special. They don't have to give you that moment. But they do. So this season, don't just give the material. Give them happiness. I can guarantee after the gifts fade, they grow, mature and change. They will always remember the people that have them happiness. I know I do.
