BEGGING

(album: GHOSTS ON TAPE - 2022)

I shut my eyes like it turns you off
I listen hard but it's not enough
Shouting grates like chalk on wood
My heart pulsing falling into drought
Hope it goes when the caffeine wears out
Please, can you go?

'Cause I'm begging
'Cause I'm begging
'Cause I'm begging
'Cause I'm begging

It's not hard to despise
Coughing up black lungs and lies
Wake me up when it's all done
And pack the car and clear the shelves
Applaud yourself and say farewell
Leave me here with this shell

So dust the chair and sit on down
Wipe the sweat upon your brow
Who's gonna make the coffee now?

'Cause I'm begging
'Cause I'm begging
'Cause I'm begging
'Cause I'm begging

'Cause I'm begging
'Cause I'm begging
