“You’re wearing me down”
She screams as she wears the clothes
I took right off my back.
“You are my sunshine”
She sings
But it’s been 3 damn days
and all I’ve seen is god damn rain.
I’ve walked a thousand miles
Handing out these paper hearts.
I wore upon my sleeve.
But like a cigarette,
They’re burned and I am dragged
Along the streets.
Don’t count on me
To run right back to you.
I’m crawling out my skin
To learn to walk again.
Another lonesome night
Another drunken stroll
Back to shanty town called “sanity”
At least I have all my friends
Inside of whiskey bottles
That were full before I got them.
I’ll raise one last glass
To all the tell tale gods I hate
And ones keep me upon my toes.
So fill me up with one more cup of
Top shelf happiness
Before I see my bitter end.
I’ve lived with all my demons
While sleeping with denial
But I’d give it all to
Wake up with one smile.
