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.
