The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Admiral of All At Sea Built From Wood On the Hanging Tree

So this is where the trail ends
in a long forgoten paper town 

Flipping dirty mattress in the ghetto turning tricks for matchsticks all for money lending

Because we born unto it like scarlet vixens in classic literature told to believe in

So bleed for me then place me on
the next bus home 

Until i ascend come easter to master the hanging tree

Crusading forth to meet my prom date 1 day i hope to marry

A journey into discovering that which i thought i'd lost i had in fact not

Wrote aboard the deck of a fishing boat
set to sea in a hurricane no mortal human shall return from

An epilogue to dodging hailstorm
whilst eating peppercorn to warm
the cockles of the coldest of darkened heart
