Buy me a bottle of whatever you're drinking cause I'm trying to bury myself in the grave next to your hollow bones Pace through the traffic back and forth Maybe I'm blindfolded or just plain blind Buy me another bottle of whatever you're drinking cause I'm tired of pretending I'm at war when all I want is peace I'm staring at the stars, I followed your eyes there Now I find myself praying you might shift your gaze Maybe glance at me when I'm not looking I'll take another round of whatever you're drinking cause I'm hoping your skeletons are as dark as they look Lately it's been too bright to sleep I can see carpe noctem etched in your fingertips Like a print: your identity I'll have another glass of whatever you're drinking cause I can't think of another way to get close to you For I'm already buried by your hollow bones I'll take one last shot of whatever we've been drinking cause it has to be better than drinking the same old **** alone

This round's on me.

I don't feel the same way as I used to, and I'm more apologetic than anything. But ever since I met you, you've been easy to write about. And I won't consider this fiction, because at another time it was true.
