The weight of failure sticks with the looks you shoot
In the dark, I can’t make out what you’re trying to sell
But deal me in, I haven’t set a price on myself
Grip your glass, speak of the safety that you’ve found
“Rest easy,” you say, “aren’t we all friends?”
You drag your feet on your way over
Behind my eyes, a languid terror
And behind every tremor, an honest question
I kept my windows down on the way here
To let December remind me of how it feels
To long for warmth
Aren’t we all here?
Chasing loneliness with our laughter?
“Aren’t we all alone together?” I said
But who would remember my drunken candor?
Each sentence an appeal the length of the severn
“God, you wonder what’s ahead
Gouge them from your stead
Like you’ve done again and again
Like you define what’s next.”
Is this the crux of being alive?
