Demons

I couldn’t sleep that night
Sitting by the window watching the snow
With a mouth full of blood
The first of many times I was caught going under
Slipping past everyone I know
I heard the marching drums keep time
Cold brass in the distance
I stayed at home with all my pain
Staring all alone at a fire
The soft metal melting with my mind as
I take another swill
My demons are my closest friends
I don’t even know their names
I don’t want to know their names
I saw it in her eyes
The fear slowly rising
As I pushed the gas to the floor
I can’t forget that night
Her cries came through the window
Even louder than the engine’s roar
My demons are my closest friends
I don’t even know their names
When I think of my closest friends
They don’t even know my name
And I don’t want to know their names

Empty Shelf

Was really looking forward to a fall with you
Things didn’t work out how we planned
The smell of chamomile lingers in my bathroom
I’m crying at the empty shelf again
It was summer then it was over
It was more than words you’d hear in a song
We found each other but it didn’t matter
Because we knew the words but we didn’t sing along
Was really looking forward to the fall with you
Things were never quite the same
The way you looked at me when you left on your birthday
I knew you’d lost your faith in me
It was summer then it was over
It was more than words you’d hear in a song
We found each other but it meant nothing
Because we knew the words but we didn’t sing along
We knew the words but we didn’t
Every time I’d laugh I’d get swallowed up
And come back again (could we come back again)
Every time I’d laugh I’d get swallowed up
And come back again (should we come back again)
Every time I’d laugh I’d get swallowed up
And come back again (we’ll never come back again)
Was really looking forward to a fall with you
But things didn’t work out the way we planned
The smell of chamomile lingers in my bathroom
And I’m crying at the empty shelf again

The Whiskey, The Rain

I wrote a letter to an old friend
Dated for when the bottle runs dry
Never heard back, felt like talking to God
Silence on the end of the line
I sat by the river in the cold wind
The thought of you had left my mind
You showed up well versed but I’d lost the words
It’s best if I leave it to time
Keep your glasses full of whiskey when it rains
Blessed by the burden we share
There for your brothers, kin, and the others
Lest we forget why we’re here
I found your voice on an old tape
I was playing piano out of time
Ten years ago laughing with Josh in the kitchen
On any old Tuesday night
We make these assumptions when we think about death
But I think The Boss said it best
Gone into that dark ether where your body rests
The memories are all that last
Keep your glasses full of whiskey when it rains
Blessed by the burden we share
There for your brothers, kin, and the others
Lest we forget why we’re here
When all has come to pass
All is borrowed, nothing lasts
When all has come to pass
All is borrowed, nothing lasts
When all has come to pass
All is borrowed, nothing lasts
When all has come to pass
All is borrowed, nothing lasts
Nothing ever lasts, so just hold on
Nothing ever lasts, so just hold on
