Twenty-One

August 13th, 2014

sun rises

moon falls

you lay on the floor

of these rusty halls

you grip the air

like there's something to hold

you hear the screams

but won't do what you're told

run, scream, twenty-one

drink, fall, sink

love like a lunatic

burn like a candlestick

keep your glass full

you won't feel a thing

twenty-one you feel it's sting

moon rises

sun falls

everyone else soars

and you hit the walls

run, scream, twenty-one

drink, fall, sink

night's over in a blink

can't remember, gotta rethink

keep your glass full

you won't feel a thing

twenty-one you feel it's sting

bloody knuckles

stranger touches

can't find your feet

don't know what your hand clutches

blurry vision

mind's a mess

you feel so much less

better redress

run, scream, twenty-one

drink, fall, sink

you just want to shrink

eyes stained pink

run, scream, twenty-one

drink, fall, fight

lose your appetite

twenty-one doesn't feel alright

sun rises

moon falls

you lay on the floor

of these rusty halls

you grip the air

like there's something to hold

you hear the screams

and do what you're told
