They're sharing a drink they call loneliness...But it's better than drinkin' alone

Those sad songs

They take you back to that gray place

The dingy bars

The down and outs

The dust that covers us,

Like old coats

...Warm and loving

This is the place,

This is the place we go to be resurrected

The living limbo

The place your both dead & alive.

You wait for someone to save you

You wait for someone to walk through that door

Silhouetted by blinding light,

An angel

...Broad shoulders, and a handsome face

...Red lipstick and a black dress to match

We come and go

Born...Resurrected

But this stool has me bound

My ball and chain

All I have waiting...

A cold bed,

With a heart to match.

So I smile.

I smile because that's what I have left.

I smile and I strike conversation.

Quiet and Polite.

Play the part,

Because I know what they want to hear...

The sad writer,

Heartbroken and alone.

And here

...Sitting in eternity...

I am much obliged.

Last Chance To Make Your Biggest Regret

She said "Conversations with strangers never came so easy,

A quick smile was all I ever needed to get by"

(I was...) Quiet and collected

(You were...) Flirty and suggestive

But games are for people who like to win

And you know what they say

(Nice guys...)

So go ahead and be his trophy

And wear your gold metal

(Around that finger)

Because lets face it love,

The only thing I can live up to...

Is letting you down

Go ahead and think things through

Cause this wont mean a thing

Come tomorow morning

Is this what you wanted?

Is this what I promised?

Is this...

   She cries out to me
   That sad beseechment
   Quiet sublime
   Like Miles’ soft horn
   On Flamenco Sketches
 "Come home to me
   Come home to me
   In the quiet whisper
   Of a warm summers night”
   …Cause you know
   “I was a pencil tip away
   From doing something stupid”
   But all those little white lies
   “They keep me up nights”
   Say what you will baby
   (And feed the rumors to the mill)
   Because I’m two drinks away
   From proving everything you’ve
   Ever said about me
   (But just keep talking baby, just keep talking)
   Cause come last call
   I’m coming clean
   (So what do you want to hear?)
   “She was a friend of a friend”
   Twice removed
   Or that we…

   “Fucked in the bathroom?”
   (But just keep talking precious, just keep talking)
   Cause I’m not the one with something to prove
   (What are you trying to?...)
   Life is full of disappointments
   I’m no different
   So what are you trying to prove?
   (Cause the truth will…)
   Cause the truth is,
   I can hold out much longer than you.
