into the glass she stares at her liquid heart
a blood red reminder, of the abuse of her time
drink it down, drink it down
act like nothing even matters, like everything is static
on the winds of a granite sky is carried the scent tonight
of careful attention, rehearsed lines and hopeful fire.
through emerald winks and glass clinks and strings of gold that
shimmer and swing as though they're dying to tell their stories
of death, blood, guts, and glory
of carats, cuts and quarries
this is desperation
(not where she wanted to be)
What's another wasted night?
One more drink will put me right where I want to be
I can't help the way I feel
Darling can't you see that lately
when I'm awake I'm still asleep
As they sit together on the couch in his apartment
her lit cigarette burns steady into the evening as it darkens
she tells him where shes been, and how her tangled story started
forgets to ash as ashes fall silent to the carpet
his hand is on her thigh and she can feel him softly squeezing
conversation turns to silence as listening turns to reading
another notch is added to the score the city's keeping
chests heaving with the rhythm of the city's heaving breathing
She smokes cigarettes and the smoke rises above their heads
and he wonders how many nights she's spent in someone else's bed
like nothing even matters
like everything is static
