lyrics

tea is in the pot, dancing with decision
everything I did envision, staking up in front of me
life is on the horse, and I’m stroking the saddle
blazing hot my temper, gets a test everyday
if I would have known he would take you away
I’d put mortar in your shoes
and I’d punch you in the face
you’d wake up by a lake
with a sandwich and some back
and a book of solemn gratitude in place

I sifted through the lies
and I only found a smudgen
I leaned that pockets are a place to give it all away
creation is a must, destruction is a habit
if you bother to regret
you empower thoughts a stray
so grab an empty hand
and fill it with some ammunition
carve her name on to your chest
smoke her breathe as cigarettes, all this meaningless
a pain like syphilis
for some one that you never even met

I scramble my petitions
haven’t been well read
damaged from addictions
people stumble on the dead
drunks and poets serenade
the fish below the docks
as the moon displays a beauty
only they could mock

sour is a word
that I’d never use for friendship
but I gave just like a hen
your the banker that won’t lend
put an apple on my head
roll your eyes instead
you’re repeating things I never even said
