lyrics

So Much Promise

So much promise
So much alcoholic confidence
So much alcoholic nonchalance
Such loud outspoken waifs and strays
From corners that I'll never see
Raise a glass up to my eye-line
I talk to her, she talks to me

***

The outcome is never as good as my dreams
The adventure is never as good as my dreams
The party is never as good as my dreams
The music is never as good as it seems
The hormones always play their tricks with me
The alcohol content relaxes, relapses, repulses and straight-up tricks me
Turns weather and art into nonentities
Lets verbal and musical bilge seep into my life
Shoots up lies into the arm of my truth once the truth's suffocated my lies
Enhance the good but excuse the bad
Give me the things that I wish that I had
Show me the things that I wish I didn't have

***

(I'm sure I've been here before...)

***

We don't have anything in common in the morning
The sky is overcast
Commuters' feet are pounding through my head
Try to find an objective, try and find a thread
Or rejoin the road to oblivion
Seems so much easier somehow

So much promise

So many promises
