hey
heard you say
you could use another drink
i dunno if another one will get
me through
this time
do you remember
that time?
we lived for a time
in a hotel
watching the time
stagger and unconscious
around us

hey
why don't you read another book?
as i lay dying is too depressing
for this time of year
leaves falling and snow
melting before it hits the ground
what am i without you?

hey
watch while i preserve you
even though it's clear i don't deserve
you
or anyone but me
really
there's some strange
danger
hurry up
lemme spray my face
real quick
with make-up
eye lined and bottom lined
the bottom line

hey
take some time and think
spin another line we can all pretend
we had a good time
remember that time?
someone let me ring their bell
we were living in that room
without windows
fuckin and fighting
someone else did the dishes
that time

hey
my memory
there's something
on my hands
laughter or blood
happy ever after
stringing up a heart
and letting is wring
from the rafters
what am i without
you?
