lyrics

I just cashed in my last can of drops of the wise words I thought I'd lost
And I'm cleaning out my car in the dark again

I'm writing poetry alone at the bar again
And the drink is my only friend

My neighbor caught me checking the clouds expecting rain because they all look gray to me

I'm used to standing too close to open flames
Sundowning on the second floor landing

I could never blame you for something circadian marked by the mindless glow of watching eons grow and leave them all behind, alone

You are more than nerves and neurons and molecules marked by the mindless glow of watching eons grow and leave us all behind, alone

I could never blame you for something irradiated marked by the mindless glow of watching eons grow and leave them all behind, alone

My rotations are passing by as familiar as the taste of my tongue
I grasped mortality for a time; another trip around the sun

I'm waiting for you to come home again
"And ever," that is
And you should know my heart is broken
