Something Brand Spanking New
The Bad Boys
Addicts:
Do you know the maudlin man,
the maudlin man,
the maudlin man?
Do you know the maudlin man,
who lives on dreary lane?
##
Survivors:
Sheer will drives heart beats
beats giving up or in
in a perpetual state of loss.
##
Demons:
Embrace your demons,
if they’re the only ones
who bothered to stick it out for the long haul.
But even as their sturdy arms
cradle your broken self,
remember they take another piece each time.
And they will never make you whole.
