smoke breaks are for lovers
Sure as satin
isn't merely soft
I will hurt you sister
same as the way
your god given grace
will destroy my brother
and, it ain't nothing but gravy baby
because he ain't gonna do
what it is he should
for the women
who will wring my heart out
to bitter salt
We are past the bargaining
of tomorrows pleasantries
and have doubled down
on this drunken moment
Clarity can't claim this kind of honesty
and I enjoy your shaking
rattling
and rolling
more than marriage can
So, let's pawn your forever
on these little folds
that have loved and lost
before the rivers tossed
isn't merely soft
I will hurt you sister
same as the way
your god given grace
will destroy my brother
and, it ain't nothing but gravy baby
because he ain't gonna do
what it is he should
for the women
who will wring my heart out
to bitter salt
We are past the bargaining
of tomorrows pleasantries
and have doubled down
on this drunken moment
Clarity can't claim this kind of honesty
and I enjoy your shaking
rattling
and rolling
more than marriage can
So, let's pawn your forever
on these little folds
