Morning After

empty bottles line the counter
no room to make coffee
half-eaten food from a half-remembered dinner
wasted on the table
can't deny you don't even try
the mirror shows a beard that's out of control
dig through rusty razors
and hack away 'til outwardly
the truth is hidden
try to disappear behind a clean-cut veneer
discomposed by dated clothes
as if you froze ten years ago

never meant for things to turn out this way
golden heart, victim of naivety
I don't know why we make mistakes no matter how we try
I don't know where Eden is but I'm sure it's out there
stare at walls, nothing much to say
bitter taste still lingers after days
so walk away if there's nothing in this world to make you stay
I don't know who, there's someone for you
come back home if you find there's no where left to room
I don't know when, there'll come a time and you'll be happy then

Intermission

waking up tired, uninspired
ambition pale, creativity stale
been pulling one over acting sober
breaking a vow, don't know how
to let it go
Started a streak of feeling good for a week
giving some hope, walking a tightrope
but resolve is flagging, fall off the wagon
can't lie, barely tried
to let it go
feeling derailed, body ails, nothing to say
don't give up, don't give in
just because it's the way it's always been
may never be cured, but may be endured
in the mirror try to look yourself in the eye
and let it go
it's time to stop lying and let it go

Dream / Keepsake
05:31

I was held in esteem 'til I woke from the dream
I won't be there when you call my name
I'll be miles away
when you're alone and need me there
I'll be anywhere else
so just lay in bed and leaf through silly pictures we drew
