Poems And Closing Time

(альбом: American Heartbreak - 2022)

I've been overdrinking
'Cause I've been overthinking
'Cause I get so damn anxious at night
Chemicals and nicotine
Friends ask how you've been
You just learn to say you're alright

Poems and closing time
Oh, sweet love of mine
I found it so hard to find truth
Poems and closing time
Oh, sweet love of mine
It'll always just be me and you

And those bastards get richer
While the poor dig ditches
To bury their dreaming in
And labor done cheap
At five AM
Is the reason they're sleeping in

Oh men build churches
So the kids find worth in
Something bigger than themselves
But the uncorruptible
Don't exist
And you can't buy your way outta hell

Closing time
I'm lost again past two
Closing time
It'll always just be me and you

I've been overdrinking
'Cause I've been overthinking
'Cause I get so damn anxious at night
Chemicals and nicotine
Friends ask me how I've been
You just learn to say you're alright

Poems and closing time
Oh, sweet love of mine
I found it so hard to find truth
Poems and closing time
Only true friend of mine
It'll always just be me and you

So don't try to pay me
And don't try to play me
As one of your sorry fools
Poems and closing time
Oh, sweet love of mine
In a world that's growing so cruel
