Alcohol Thoughts
If i could summon you to my perception
Or host you whole to my being
Only then
Only then would you fathom the wreckage
And take a dip in my alcohol thoughts
Or come watch me redeem my aggravating flaws
Hues from my mouth dripping void , dripping scarlet
Like the letter except that im unwritten
And the sounds of ill relief form an orchestra in my ears
They are diamonds , not tears
Pulled triggers not passing years
Im only dreaming when my my head hangs low
only winning when my mind is stray
Im more familiar with the shattered glass yet your touch cracks more of me
Be the muse to my blues
Or just be , thats enough for me
Pour gasoline to the inferno
Hang me by the neck like your dartboard , aim the dart
I'd rather you be the wretched end of me than anybody be my clean cut start
They'd offer you umbrellas in the rain
Then you'd have me asking if all is resolved by my lipstick stain?
During the harvest they'd help you with your grain
I, my eyes'd mist
pleading in your arms wondering whether your love for me was washed by your terrain
But darling , if you chose the vodka off the rack of the champagne
You'd have to accept the bitter warmth of it , hauling at you like acidic rain
