The sun beats a dead horse through a desert of lies the only oasis is 44 ounces of pure bliss cooling the essence from within There is no greater comfort, no greater satisfaction On the hottest summer day life drains out of the chalice of joy Its remnants still cold against my lips burning into my being the memory of it Empty and discarded the heat rises Once again roaming and rummaging through the day searching endlessly for the reality to match the memory a world of imposters pretending they are worthy Trying to believe that contented equals happiness Disappointment lies empty at the bottom of the bin Left to wander in search of that purity of bliss For there is no greater comfort, no greater joy

Summer In The Desert When You Were My Slurpee
The sun beats a dead horse through a desert of lies the only oasis is 44 ounces of pure bliss cooling the essence from within There is no greater comfort, no greater satisfaction On the hottest summer day life drains out of the chalice of joy Its remnants still cold against my lips burning into my being the memory of it Empty and discarded the heat rises Once again roaming and rummaging through the day searching endlessly for the reality to match the memory a world of imposters pretending they are worthy Trying to believe that contented equals happiness Disappointment lies empty at the bottom of the bin Left to wander in search of that purity of bliss For there is no greater comfort, no greater joy
