We’re not dead yet
So we do class A drugs in bed
And we sleep close like sardines
Canned up snug in the bathtub
But when the water comes on
We’ll know it’s been too long
Still immobilized by depressants and inhalants and stimulants
And facedown in two inches of water we’ll drown
My lover, do you recognize me now?
My face is gray my hair is falling out
But we’re not too old for tomorrow
We’re not too young to back out
We’re not dead yet
So we’ll drink the blame instead
Amber liquid, lighter fluid
All the same to your intestines
I can’t speak the same these days
I don’t recognize my voice
And the trophy wives
And red brick homes
And migraine pills and silicone
They’re all slipping away, they’re gone
Your mother will be getting worried sick
All the Cabernet in the world won’t calm her down
But we’re not too old for tomorrow
We’re not too young to back out
And I am so fucking confused
My tongue is salt and pepper static
Waking up under the bed
Find you smoking in the attic
Dehydrated and decayed
I roll myself into your blankets
Taking up what space is left between you and what you wanted
Two years ago in twelfth grade when your hands and your legs revolted
Said you’d drive your fathers car over the Francis Scott key bridge
I am sorry it all sounds the same
I’m so sorry now
(x2)
My brother, in US army green
I can still sense him wanting
To ask my dad if he’s proud
