Sitting alone at the bar Writing down my dreams On cocktail napkins with beer stains As the smoke slowly circles the ceiling fans I felt helpless and weak Wishing you’d steal a kiss And fall asleep wrapped in my arms Caressing your lips softly with my fingertips Leaving at her beckoning Tempted by a sultry dance In a serpent’s grasp ensnared By a gorgon’s gaze, a siren’s song entranced How can I compete? But how can I lose you It may well **** me to watch you spiral But here I am, slowly dying for you Sitting daydreaming in a bar Jotting down some insecurities About an endless lonely existence No resisting, no escape, no remedies

Cocktail Napkins
Sitting alone at the bar Writing down my dreams On cocktail napkins with beer stains As the smoke slowly circles the ceiling fans I felt helpless and weak Wishing you’d steal a kiss And fall asleep wrapped in my arms Caressing your lips softly with my fingertips Leaving at her beckoning Tempted by a sultry dance In a serpent’s grasp ensnared By a gorgon’s gaze, a siren’s song entranced How can I compete? But how can I lose you It may well **** me to watch you spiral But here I am, slowly dying for you Sitting daydreaming in a bar Jotting down some insecurities About an endless lonely existence No resisting, no escape, no remedies
