It wasn't my intention to see her here tonight
She belongs to another man, I tell myself
since we're both here it won't hurt to take a look
And so I watch her hips sway to the bands slow soul

It wasn't my intention to grind into her rhythm
With one look her eyes beckoned that I come home
She belongs to another man, I tell myself
And so lose myself in effortless conversation

It wasn't my intention to kiss her
The words stopped flowing and we couldn't stop staring
And so I lose myself in the taste of her
Tonight she is mine, I tell myself
OMW
Do you know why I was upset with you that night. I was an hour away with my family and in that moment, you had me. You had me in a place that I told myself I would never end up again, and there I was standing in that insanity once more.

Story of my life really. She calls and I come running. Just like clockwork. You called that night, and I ran. But no signs of a wolf when I got there. Just a girl claiming she wanted to see me.

How could I be mad at that? Easily when I consider what was left to save you from boredom. Hardly at all, when I remember how you saved me from drowning just days before.

I didn't mean to lead you on. Its just that we found ourselves in the same place that night, and when the bourbon wasn't enough anymore we found comfort in each others arms.

Together we forged a life raft. For awhile kept each other alive as we drifted in sorrow on a sea of hard liquor. I thought we found the shore together but maybe land didn't agree with your legs or maybe it was the wrong island altogether.

Either way I Like it here, and i'm trying to make it work. So in the future if your bored call someone else. If you need a good distraction, find it anywhere else. If you do find yourself in trouble and no one else picks up. Dial my line, you know ill be running.
Sleep dont come easy
when your heart is heavy
when the bars form around you
from the things that you've done
the people you've hurt

There is no escape
from the pain you've felt
when the screams belt
gotta find a distraction

I need a strong drink
to numb this feeling
I need a hard fight
to get the punishment i deserve
i need a good woman
to help me forget

no longer can i live this way
running no longer suits me
im done with forked tongues
forged from my subconscious

its time to dance with the devil
no need to wait in line
this is hell and im on the list
a very special guest
they've been expecting me for some time
New bottle
new woman
same fight
same old night
demons back
need distraction
grab my jacket
look for action

any kind
any order
fill my mind with drugs and daughters
drinks and fights
ill soon get right
but this bottle aint finished
and its not yet midnight

where this night goes
no one knows
kiss the girl
throw them bows
finish whiskey
find way home
sleep comes easy
when your so tipsy

rise early
to repent
cant find words
still on the fence
good or bad
misunderstood
alls forgotten
when she grips wood

go to work
live my life
give no hint
of dark inside
or sleepless night
and drunken frights
through all the pain
i smile bright

good girl
cant deny
soft and sweet but tough inside
she breaks down walls
i stand and fight
told her stay away
from men of my kind

clocked out
call whitney
up to no good
shes right there with me
hit the green
until im purple
another day
restart the circle

New bottle
new woman
same fight
same old night
demons back
need distraction
grab my jacket
look for action...
Stagnation is the true death
Waiting and watching
Suffering silently
Slowly decaying
To do nothing is to be nothing

Cowardice is the lowest form of life
Wishing Without reaching
Angry frightened and confused
Ever uncertain
There is no honor without perseverance

Roaring is the only option
Laughing as you stalk death
Fully aware of the moment
Crashing the limits
Making your voice ring throughout the centuries
In her eyes I could sense such spirit
In her arms I knew I'd found home
When we kissed the whole world Fell silent
In her mind I regained my soul

I thought that I could save her
From the mundane life that she sowed
I knew that her heart could take it
I grabbed her hand and said lets go

she asked me to promise forever
Give her security she'd always known
Hold her hand as she walked the line
And for every sin committed shed atone

I told her I would always be honest
that I would take as her as far as I could go
Show her the world through my eyes
Give her all of me for as long as she's close

With heartbroken eyes she looked at me
It was not the answer shed hoped
She wanted honey filled words to give courage
She feared the idea of being alone

Hard truths aren't what she asked for
but my path is not for the weak
Without a doubt she was built for adventure
But She had to choose on her own

That was the last time I saw her
The girl with spirit in her eyes
In the end she chose that mundane life
And on and on i ride
She pours in slowly as I watch from a distance
A darkened tone the reflection of a life well lived
I watch her splash and swirl
I watch young men's hearts fill with courage
I watch old men relive passed moments

Set down beside me I catch the softest scent of vanilla
An icy touch reveals to me the nature of our relationship
Slowly she leans into me
Pressed against my lips and tilting forward
An eternity passes before I'm allowed to drink her in

Sweet.. She ain't that
No sir this is something much more real
Full bodied and biting
Tearing away every ounce of ego
Devouring all that isn't me

A warm glow spreads from my chest and down into my belly
The senses of comfort and abandon take hold
The pain of past hells that normally haunt are pushed backwards
In this moment there is only her
In this moment I'd do anything for her

Shes gone and I already miss her
Hellfires spark catches flame and spreads
I try to stand but my knees disagree
The floors a good place to sleep
Maybe I'll dream of her
