Baptized in the bar
Would you like a shot with those regrets darlin'?
The perfect tiny lucent glass of sinners water
To compliment that stale smoke lingering on your breathe
We can baptize you in Jack Daniels
If your quintessence is willing to drown in faith again
I know you've been staring down a loaded .30 caliber barrel
And had that whiskey serenade song on repeat
All while a phantom coaxes nirvana promises in your ear
But girl, they say only the good die young
And reputation states your anything but
Solo bottle love is just a pretty metaphor for drinking kerosene
And that fag between your fingertips just might set you ablaze
But you can always find me in the bar just north of mainstreet
Toasting yesterdays mistakes with all my addiction demons
Here's to you and wasted fucking nights
I guess all that's left to say,
Is cheers darlin'

Much enjoyed.
I read it once, then twice, then thrice,
and I still want to read it again.
Just as Carlene said^^ very unique,
and very well written.
