Memories on a deck, pt. 2

can see a white blouse hanging on window cill a naked body on the bed
i can see a candle burning, wax dripping, bible burning woman that i once called friend

don't you bleed out an apology, you'll always be a robber to me

i can see a black faced woman with a baby saying maybe you should stay down here
i can see a shit faced brother that i covered for what must have been the last 10 years

i could tell she wasn't lying, you were lying with a lion up there
i could tell you that i saw you but i couldn't make up the stairs

i can see a heart sized hole inside the ocean where I'm pondering a mid night swim
i can see a heart sized hole inside the bottle where I'm pondering a mid night swim

i could tell you i was dying but you wouldn't know for 3 more years
i could tell you i was dying but you wouldn't know for 3 more years
