Caressing the crumbled blue curtains, I gulp another quarter of gin, This comfort kills me slowly, Carelessly holding an ache within
Silence playing on the dusty record, As I hang myself on the museum wall, The sheets have long dried off, Coffee, liquor and stains of bawl
I had taken the long road, And zoned out in crowded pubs, Been a rooster to a million dawns, And drowned to death in my cup
The cats don't bark anymore,
And dogs don't slither over the dirty floor, The sea has dried and turquoise clouds are gray, These hollow, tinted sunsets, now I see alone.
