Drains To The Mississippi

(album: Collapser - 2009)

So where did August go?
The leaves are shriveled up and dead
What started yellow has turned to grey
I turned you red

I was suffocating so
I took a breath and let you go
You left me leaning and I spent the evening pounding sand
With pounding head

I woke up to the rain
It won't be the same here without you
So goodbye and good luck, know it won't be the same

Was kinda drunk that night you know
And now I'm outside kicking stones and getting drunk on grief
Down and incomplete, walking Carson street alone
The summer hear it grabbed me
By the neck and hung me out to dry
Dropping into cold
Twist my fists in folds
Of my winter clothes

Alone, I'm going home to an empty room
To have on Orchard road
Absurd fucking world
Feel like dropping dead, but I laugh instead
Dumb guy, smart girl
