Man in Pub

Walk the streets and find a home
If only till the bell
Drink your pain and whisper fears
And raise one to the dead
Nothing’s better yet something’s worse
It pours away at you
A sideways glance to an older man
The truth inside his suit

Stare down your friends
Leave untold
Crash through a lonely bed
And start again tomorrow

Swill the dregs and pause a while
Consider what they said
Break the glaze and spit the rage
And squeeze around their neck
Loosen off and smile the phrase
I know you’re all I’ve got
Too much has passed through you and I
The lies and noble truths
The lies and noble truths

Stare down your friends
Leave untold
Crash through a lonely bed
And start again tomorrow
And start again tomorrow
