i know

i know you think you can get away
with russian roulette
shooting blanks
 
i know you think that it's all the same
 
she has got the blackest spoon
that i have ever seen
 
there is no such thing as getting sane
unless you are opening your favorite vein
comfortably sad
 
my favorite hand
is 1 i never play
call a rainbow anything
 
a good hit
some clean sheets to fall on
a smile from a pretty girl
a check with a couple commas  
what i would do
to you
 
flowers catch flame
i'm decompressing today
maybe i've been down here too long
angry air
don't worry i know
 
i'm just blowin smoke rings in the mirror
