whatever it takes.

Jawbreaker it gets lonliest at night down at the liquor store beneath the neon sky (our moonlight). six a.m. the floor comes alive with lice, the pan's dried up so tight with hardened beans (we're hungry). so i lean on you sometimes
just to see you're still there.

feet that can't take the weight of one
much less two
we hit concrete

and were we pulled into this mess
i know i painted you a prettier picture baby
we were burned out on a rail
fell from the wagon to the night train

i kissed the bottle, i should have been kissing you
and you wake up to an empty night with tears for two

cigarettes they fill the gaps in our empty days, in our broken teeth, we're jonesing. say mister, can you spare a dime, some change might make a change, might buy some time some freedom. or an end to hear my story, all i've got are fiction. beats the hell out of my truth. a palm upturned, burnt blue, don't call it sunburn.

you've been shaking on the job, just one drink ahead of your past. there's a white light coming up, you pull the blinds hoping it will pass.
