Forty seven nights Spent sleepless Or wasted, shitfaceded Stumbling I'm aimless And fear Stabs at my mind Porcupine hides And bee stings Wasted passionate ambition An ad for lost tenacity Cruel fate Just world Full court Swine and pearls Six months Of restless days Assurance didn't ever run It sat and washed away And my hopes burn like turpentine In a fire-breather's lungs Singed ****** hair And scorch marks On the surface of my tongue Forty seven nights And just as many days Youth never tried to run Just sat and washed away Youthful love, stupid love Happy gluttony Waste of time, In my mind Says hateful heartless me
