Drunk Psalms
If loose lips sink ships
Then this buzz has unanchored the foot in my mouth
And now I really have some **** to say
Because the only time my mouth might look like it were about to launch torpedoes is
Now
Similar to blowing a bubble
Or anticipating a kiss
I aim to sink heavy metal devils with this drunken word stumble
I am done feeling lost in your sea
Waiting for your wind to take me away from unrequited
To simply sunken
Bring on your lovely devils
And apology notes
I’ll grit my teeth and bear it
I mean pretending not to care has never really been easy for me
I mean if I were an ostrich
I’d have my head in the ground right now
But thank god for beer
And best friends who owe you money
And the silence and patience it takes to decipher
The mental drunken slur of
“Stop hurting me like that”
Like Frank Sinatra said
“The best part about waking up with a hangover is
the only thing you have to look forward to
is feeling better”
I can’t wait to feel better
So bring on your jazz and work me up
And trumpet your lies
Mock love forgiveness
This headache was worth the trouble of forgetting
Sea foam
Beer foam
Either way I’m drowning with this ship
And either way I’m waking up
Missing you
And regretting everything I’ve said
