Words are the only thing left holding me together.
Drinking down the bottle
2 more shots should hide my mistakes
His heart is like a fossil
And I doubt it ever aches
Picking up the throttle
Will drink as long as it takes
This pain it feels so awful
I’d like to be one he appreciates

I’d join your corps
Your lips can be the shore
I’m open to explore
The boat can capsize
Kisses instead of cries
Not many words we’ll vocalize
Are you ready for more
Something you’ve never had before
I want it all plus an encore
Forget that cigarette
We don’t need a corvette
Tho I would go into debt
Held captive under no demand
I’ve never been to his homeland
I heard he even has a band
Days on end I go no sleep
There’s treasures in the ocean deep
If he’s the farmer, we are his sheep

If I had any say you would be king
You already rule over everything
I would take a holiday at his feet
I’ve actually felt his heart beat
He makes it hard to get back in the swing
His love is the best retreat
Any words that he may sing
Can be heard on any street
If I had any say you would be king
You already rule over everything

I get lost in the hours escaping on the road
Carrying more weight than what should be towed
Doing all I can to escape my own abode
Drifting and changing every channel that is showed
But you are still in every episode
And it’s really made my mind explode
Maybe you could give me a lighter lode?
I’m certain you have the antidote?
This feels totally out of my control
So maybe before I mispoke
I’d gladly pay you whatever is owed
Can you just ring me on the telephone?
You already know my area code
I’m ready to adjust to any mode
Let’s go!

It can disappear as quickly as it can appear
I won’t even need to yell all clear
It only takes seconds for my heart to veer
I don’t need you in my atmosphere
I won’t even shed a tear
Only the worthy are allowed here
Feel free to harbor all your fear
You’ll soon find it’ll grow more severe
Your happiness fading each year
A bleak existence your only frontier
But I will never reappear
I bid you farewell my dear

They say if you love it set it free
Sometimes a beast needs tied to a tree
My passages lead to a sanctuary
And my love is complimentary
There is never an admission fee
No need for a lock or a key
But none of them can apparently see
They’ve lost visibility
And their souls to a degree
