Bad judgement and unbuckled belts,
Too busy doing something else,
Flirting with regret while the ice in my scotch melts,
Too short sighted to see the morning of guilt,
Rules broken by unspoken agreements,
Five backslides won’t help the healing,
Direct contact that’s way too recent,
But I feel too good to notice a bad feeling,
Too much liquor is never the sole reason,
Order another pitcher til my heart stops beating,
Caught in a daze but my lungs still breathing,
Slave to an impulse I’m just a human being,
2 AMs an enemy yeah it’s my darkest hour,
Park across the street and come meet me up in the shower,
Ending a situation that started with a flower,
In a grey area I’m about to get devoured,
And she moan every time I’m in it
Undecided but I find her with me
Judgement cloudy ’cause the booze been in me
Wake up and she’s by my left
Please tell me that we ain’t have sex
Her cigarette taste all on my breath
Temporary satisfaction,
Urges of young passion,
Creating chaos in an orderly fashion,
If I’m lucky I’ll remember a fraction,
I should be elsewhere but this a welcomed distraction,
Spending every evening together like olden days
But everything’s changed,
Her jeans still have the acid wash stains,
And my neck still gets tangled up with my chains,
Personal gains
Keep telling myself it’s all right,
Caught a cab underneath the star shine,
Shadow of her skin on the wall from the hall light,
Keep yourself warm on a late fall night,
But i’m guilty, and i’ll admit to that,
Heart’s losing but my body is winnin’ now, vicious cycle,
Stuck among it, bad conscience that can’t stop running
And she moan every time I’m in it
Undecided but I find her with me
Judgement cloudy ’cause the booze been in me
Wake up and she’s by my left
Please tell me that we ain’t have sex
Her cigarette taste all on my breath
