#01 (Sleep and Dream)
i go and sit on the curb
outside of my house
i stare at the stars
and down another beer
the world passes by
its enough to bring you down
everything weighs heavy on me
as i down another beer
moths flit around my head
as i contemplate life
going nowhere
so i down another beer
the earth spins beneath my feet
i stagger back inside
hunched beside the toilet
ive downed too many beers
sleep and dream
dream and sleep
awake once more and nothings changed
time to hit the beers once more
