Drunken Words
I don't want to work for you,
fake a smile in this costume,
I don't want another day
of a boring job and ****** pay.
And I don't believe in G-d,
no TV expert or demagogue,
promising a different way,
it's the same formulaic play.
So I twist in sheets and walk around
to escape all of these household sounds,
the news is spouting war again,
I close my eyes and count to ten...
...And I wait for some change to come.
Your patient ***, your siren song.
Are you maladjusted too?
And do I have a chance with you?
Because I slip a pill to fall asleep-
nothing else will work for me,
I've tried everything there is
to cure me from this restlessness.
They **** the many to save the few,
they decimate all that we knew
about what it means to be free;
doctoring our history.
And I don't want to be the one
to bring you down or mess you up,
I just want some peace to come,
no broken streets, no fallen bombs...
...Is this all there is?
Pockets of momentary bliss?
I just close my eyes and think of you;
my drunken words,
your ocean blue.
I'll close my eyes, my mind, my tomb;
if I could have a chance with you.
A song.
