Every morning I die a little death. Bourbon-shot skies and whiskey lies, better stop making those bedroom eyes, 'cause I might just take you up on it darlin'. I'm a little bit of pretty nonsense. Rhyme and dine, turn down the lights, break our bodies into bread and say our daily prayer and ****** hope there's a god for sinners. Fire brings out the worst of us and we're fucken gasoline. You keep spittin' out that serious talk saying Everything has a price, Well then kiss me now and let's bleed for it later, the whole world's only a cocktail darling.

Bourbon Skies
When people ask, I tell them: *I noticed him because of those beautiful eyes, all backlit melodrama and mysteries waiting to be understood* The truth is they were soulless and empty and hungry for something you couldn't name. You're not mine You said. No, I agreed. But I could be. Razzle-dazzle **** me fast and ***** into the faux leather of your backseats. Darling, we're not in Paris anymore. You want something fascinating but I want something real. We make do. You say: *I know you're a piece of **** and I still want you.* with the way it wraps around my heart you'd think it was a love confession. Your teeth marks divide across my skin like train tracks You say my name like how an addict says morphine, nicotine. I wonder how long till we crash. I say: *I hate it when you call me "Darling"* and with the way you laughed I almost thought I paid a compliment This could be whatever you want it to be Even if it's not love.
