Love Drunk Bastards

So calming, so quiet
No talking just silence
Gotta share this
hope that you care too
Because at the moment I feel
Drunk on your eyes
one of a kind
Let it overflow
And I find it hard to sleep at night
The second verse is always hardest to write
But she came and made me finish my song
She's just sitting here, I'm already
Drunk on her eyes
one of a kind
and I can't ignore
All these love drunk bastards,
run much faster for their golden prize
And you know I'd run

See You Glow

So long ago it feels
Our home
The place I had built in my mind
To grow and learn
Guess I could be coma
Or off in a war torn state alone
This penultimate meeting
where two lovely people
Must fold and burn
Just one time to see you glow
Feels like the end of my all time favorite show
Call it an end a start for you
whatever works
And if I fall this time I'll land feet first
Now I see in your eyes a different time
No better than here I realize
Guess I can sleep when I want
And I don't have to call anyone at all
And when I drink but this beer goes to waste
'cause there's no one to share my thoughts
one last time to see you glow
Feels like the end
of my all time favorite show
Call it an end a start for you
whatever works
And if I fall this time I'll try to land first
Takes a second to illuminate the lights upon your skin
Just a second more we're right back to the state we started in

Let's just play fair
Life's hard enough as it is
been taken back
to punishments meant for a kid
'cause you said
I'd be strong enough for this
but I'm ill equipped
You know why I'm only
stronger when I'm sleeping
Dreaming of a world where we can breathe
Cause lately I've been gasping, wheezing on dust left
By an old machine
So let's take them back
to a time when they couldn't resist
each other's laugh
let's just give them an itch
my own damn approval was all that I needed
this place feels so shameful
I'm cut down and cheated
stronger when I'm sleeping
Dreaming of a world where we can breathe
'cause lately I've been thinking
we're all cogs just moving reluctantly
in an old machine

Along the way I saw something
Resembled me with claws and sharp teeth
Hurts to say he was my only true friend
Months ahead we ran upstream
Taking names and tumbling over pipe dreams
it was there that I felt the world in tune
Black bear black bear
False surroundings
Black bear
Send my yearning westward
cold winds blowing
Where you going now
As you exhale out slowly
I hold mine in
still fully knowing
Time will take us in as slaves once more
Don't you know?
So who will join me on this long walk through the cold
We kept in touch but man this place is getting old
If I had but one simple request to give
I'm sure it end sounding similar to this
Let's drive out west
Shoot the shit with some strangers
Deep in my mind I could use a vacation
Can't let it rest break my back
For the friends I love
Let's drive out west
Shoot the shit with some strangers
Once in my life there was hope in a paycheck
Those days are gone and instead
I am just alive
Black Bear

Jonesin'

Clear out the wreckage of your heart
Make room for something sincere
Blue in this god forsaken room
But she loves the view
I've been jonesin for your lovin
Need that goodness in my life
So collected in the street
a restless dancer in the night
Its exactly what I needed
far exceeded my own mind
leavin it so high
Dawn comes along but not before
I can get this out
Choose your words wisely what's to loose
There's nothing she can't take
Was starting to believe we all were just conceded clowns
But just before you leave it
please just try to hear me out
I've been jonesin for your love
need that goodness in my life
so collected in the street
a restless dancer in the night
Like those out of body existential trips you can't describe
she's leaving you high
for the night
