Gin - Divided Heaven

I was bouncing off the walls of my hotel room

With the past few weeks by night measuring risk

Through all the chaos and confusion;

Liquid courage and delusion

And this bottle is my only goodnight kiss

I scoffed at all your paths I thought were foolish

And I played that card so often I was sick

Am I still bound by all I’ve said?

Negative thoughts creep in my head

Foolish do what foolish will

Our swill turns into piss

If we leave ourselves hanging dry

We’ll come back for the gin

If we grow tired of this foolish ship

We’ll strip and dive right in

We could cheat just like the movies

When reality breathes stale

Too young to plan, too old to fail

I was undoubtedly deceptive with good reason

I was swimming with the sharks with no defense

Now the sharks have been jumped

And deception’s not much fun

When it works too well and doubt’s all you have left

If we leave ourselves hanging dry

We’ll come back for the gin

If we grow tired of this foolish ship

We’ll strip and dive right in

We could cheat just like the movies

When reality breathes stale

Too young to plan, too old to fail

With the miles racing on

In time I waive to all of my old friends

When the wagon wheels rolled on

They dragged me far from all my old friends

Too young to plan, too old to fail
