Every ending starts where the next beginning plays Followed by a rush of people who hurry to be delayed Absence makes the heart wander for those who cannot wait For the signal to pick up lines of oblivious candidates Self-doubt leads to blame leads to truth leads to death It hides behind your mind to find you blindly obsessed You don't know why it fails when then you were best At leaving a place with another, now you're one less Are you lost or just lonely? You stay up all night thinking, “If only...”? Ghosts of Desperation holding You in a choke hold; is it warming You all up from the inside? Casting half-laughs staring wide-eyed Ghosts of Self-Pity abide to reside In that choke hold redefine pride Why are you not happy solo? Don't give excuses like “I'm friend-zoned” Why put her in a choke hold? Afraid to let go and leave her throat cold? Get off my stool let me drink alone No, Lady my heart is not sold Laughing at my jokes does not make you gold You're drunk and embittered: self-taught choke hold Why do I feel so god **** tense? Pasts present my present paid penance One more drink then I'll go home Six more to numb my damning sold soul Liquid hubris raise my confidence Make us all feel less incompetent Let our veracious selves go unfold Transgressions greet us with your choke hold Let's frolic in our loss of breathing We like the taste and we're not leaving Alcoholic for this scheming Forget your lives live like you're dreaming In love with ideas in lieu of reality Make us feel like we are the normality One knight stands with armor rusting Lusting for the din; it's rushing Popped collar Icarus: Get into the choke hold Self harmer ichor blessed: Get into the choke hold Lost soul navigator: Get into a choke hold Ex marks the *** for later: Get into a choke hold Ice cold analyzer: Get into a choke hold Wise tending ***** prescriber: Get into a choke hold Fate maker pushed and pulled: Get into a choke hold Let this story to be told: Let's get into a choke hold!

A story about six people in a bar and the follies of escapism...
