Pulled as tight as the netted stars
Contentment is the only thing I hear
Wind roaring through my hair
There must be something I've forgotten
Some forgone prologue to this ebony cheer
This bowel of awkward just spills from my mouth
As if I could dry heave the perfect soliloquy,
Cite the succinct sonnet
"Friends, Romans, Countrymen"
"My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun"
It feels so good to feel uncomfortable again
To fumble over missed turn signals
It's been too long
Since I've calmed my nerves
With a clove cigar, a pen
And the cool grey of the night

Pulled as tight as the netted stars
Contentment is the only thing I hear
Wind roaring through my hair
There must be something I've forgotten
Some forgone prologue to this ebony cheer
This bowel of awkward just spills from my mouth
As if I could dry heave the perfect soliloquy,
Cite the succinct sonnet
"Friends, Romans, Countrymen"
"My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun"
It feels so good to feel uncomfortable again
To fumble over missed turn signals
It's been too long
Since I've calmed my nerves
With a clove cigar, a pen
And the cool grey of the night
