Sobriety Test

Post by audiofool » Thu May 04, 2017 1:53 am

I'm struggling to say
such a futile exercise
my thoughts a jumble
under wide, starry skies

fireworks come easy
always with the rain
nervous laughs
to hide my gaffes
your body on my brain

I've apologized
a thousand times
paid a royal sum
for petty and high crimes

I never knew
but now I'm certain
there's a man
behind the curtain

I cut the strings
and tied up loose ends
there's no chance
that we'll still be friends

waterworks on parade
drinking your thirsty eyes
guilty as charged
lunatic at large
no one feigns surprise

I never knew
now I'm quite certain
I'm the man
behind the curtain

my thoughts a jumble
under pale, panicked skies
the words escape me
so let's just say goodbye.
