My Bar

You almost knew what you were doing 
You were in my bar 

The way they had to  you blind 
Then keep you out of mind 
That was who I was 

Eyelids tell the x rated story to blank friends and hires

The only thing we have now is common ground whether we admit that or not 

I wasn't alone there in my vomit yet the sooner they could feel it, the pulse had to wait for my name and its jester like curse

One day I held on to the drink 

Your pale with hell to share in the next drunk circle jerk yet I wish the 
Very well in parrelel to you 
That a fume will sit for you and hear the darkest bell of turnarounds 

I know where you were 

The spelling of first 

I know where you were

I never wanted people to see it

Yes 
Yes 
I never wanted people to see it

Sometimes a terrible actor breaks your back 
Has more than you will ever have 

The thought of letting a grenade gutter their face,its... 

I'll let you say it(the thought)

We all cross the prison as a sheriff and a lifer and wait on the greatest both and worst things to make it to every 

Single breath and life 

Then theres the epiphany and I said let them see it have no effect 

I have model citizens in my granted wreaths and let them kneel to those who never realized who they were 

I'll let you say it

Where did amnesty let go of us as its too clear that it didn't hold on to anything 

Yes
