Tonight
I'll sleep
And tomorrow
Remember
I swear
Tonight
I found myself
In my usual place
Sprawled spine-bent
In my tear puddled
Empty eyed
Pearly white
Tub
Wrapped quietly
In it's cold handless
Skin so soft and false
One arm fallen bent
Resting on the cracked floor
Fingers loosely gripping a bottle of clear fire
It numbs my eyelids
And my beaten chest
And the cold tub
Almost feels friendly
It washes down
The visions of tonight
The voices
Washes them to settle in my gut
To arise with tomorrows moon
One of these days
I'll smash it
The bottle
And realize
I haven't had a night of winter
And the visions and voices
Have learned to swim
Yes
One of these days
I'll smash it all
The bottle
The tub
The visions
The voices
And i will learn to swim
I swear
sounds like a lost love
sounds like a lost love
