We Are The Sovereign Shadows Growing Long In The Afternoon

Sun bleeding out on the curb tonight

Base thoughts racing through my mind

Evening dies in a maladjusted way

I'm drowning it out in a bottle of beer

A roar of laughter and a broken dish

Abruptly, everyone I love vanishes.

Night grows gelid like a winter pond

A blanket of stillness punctuates the world

The dark of night creeps into my skull

I'm drowning it out in a bottle of beer

And I lie here waiting for sleep to overtake me

But she doesn't want to give me the satisfaction.

I moved downtown to a private prison

With a woman and her dog

She's from the south and she don't take no shit

I'm drowning it out in a bottle of beer

I walk away from you with bitter in my blood

You play me so well; I'm a fucking disgrace.

Sun bleeds thick on the morning curb

Waking pulls me back through that other dimension

Broken-glass lives line the daily commute

I'm drowning it out in a bottle of beer

And I'm drowning it out in a bottle of beer

And I'm drowning it out in a bottle of beer.

~Blood red moon.

Love,

Ivanchenko.
