block the sun with a hand to the sky
a cry for help, a drink set aside
hands searching for a hold on hope
grabbing at air as teeth hit the floor
CH a wretched wreck
a foul misstep
life traps. death unchecked.
abandoned. alone. the bottoms' there (if you know where to hold)
staring at clocks and faces as plain
watching the night putting reason to sleep
get everything to lose and nothin the same
until ill health and time come looking to pay
CH a wretched wreck
a foul misstep
life traps. death unchecked
recalling years that shrink and seem like days
keeping score tally and mark
as lessons and age
..tag dread and shame.
(getting by and what have you can be a mind numbing exercise
in patience and endurance. while it may destroy a few good folk,
i can relate to the temptation to drown it all in a sea of excess and self
destruction. it can be sad. it happens. it has to sometimes.)
