Liquid Courage

(album: Snoqualmie Welcomes You - 2022)

Running through the forest with my backpack full of cocaine, cocaine
If we just keep driving, we should reach your Z by Sunday morning
Maybe if we kiss, we could break tension like my brother's rib cage
Stole the bastard's wallet from my father when he wasn't looking
I've taken up poetry so I can express all these feelings
I wrote letters that I never sent because I never mean 'em
Wrote my poem on my hand in sharpie so I don't forget it
What was I talking about? Fuck, alright

I can't stay awake because my friends are all so fucking boring
I can feel the energy by pen has when I'm writing stories
I could see the words come off the canvas and go up your noise
Now I'm in your brain and know how to make your lungs go closed

Can I have a sip of that? My cuddle tank is feeling empty
Liquid courage for the nerves is way worse than she deserves
Drunken sex after desert, keeps her heart with lovely words
Broken wings, a flightless bird, promised me this wouldn't hurt
Can I have a sip of that? My cuddle tank is feeling empty
Liquid courage for the nerves is way worse than she deserves
Drunken sex after desert, keeps her heart with lovely words
Broken wings, a flightless bird, promised me this wouldn't hurt

Her mom said my brain is broke, my thoughts wanna see me choke
Crown of thorns lay on my head, I'll stay home and sleep instead
Your dad's back in jail again, apple picking with a friend
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's most lonely of them all?

I can't fall in love again (stay awake, stay awake)
Keep it zero in my neck (stay awake, stay awake)
I'm more trouble than I'm worth (stay awake, stay awake)
You're a danger to yourself (stay awake, stay awake)
I can't fall in love again (stay awake, stay awake)
Keep it zero in my neck (stay awake, stay awake)
I'm more trouble than I'm worth (stay awake, stay awake)
You're a danger to yourself (stay awake, stay awake)

Can I have a sip of that? My cuddle tank is feeling empty
Liquid courage for the nerves is way worse than she deserves
Drunken sex after desert, keeps her heart with lovely words
Broken wings, a flightless bird, promised me this wouldn't hurt
Can I have a sip of that? My cuddle tank is feeling empty
Liquid courage for the nerves is way worse than she deserves
Drunken sex after desert, keeps her heart with lovely words
Broken wings, a flightless bird, promised me this wouldn't hurt
