Drunken Poet ft. Possum Lyrics

Where I've been? Travelling oceans in a dingy

Listening for you but I leave the phone ringing

The end of world is where you can reach me

I pray my biggest fear of going over the falls never leaves me

I'm thin, skin, bone and ill fitting prosthetics

A pathetic attempt at matching heart with aesthetics

I revel the chance at pretending I'm prophetic

But really, the bullshit from my neck is just tragically genetic

I follow in steps from a stoner diabetic poet

Asked when he felt like one? He said he's always known it

From the first tooth loosed by another drunken dullard

Stumbled upon something, greedily said it was discovered

A truth quite simple; couldn't believe its shade and colour

Blood pooling at his feet, his reflection and his wonder

Dripped from his shit eating grin as he muttered

This blood isn't mine; it's yours, my brother

What am I?

What am I?

What am I?

Maybe I'm beautiful and fine

But in this city, more fun than pretty

Another sip and then we'll see

What am I?

What am I?

What am I?

Maybe intelligent or wise

But in this city, your dumb and silly

Another sip and then we'll see

What am I?

What am I?

What am I?

Maybe a prophet so devine

But in this city, just on the tinnies

What a pity you are, What a pity

What a pity

What a pity

What a pity

He held his head, trying to maintain his focus

Repetitive thematics in this carbon poets opus

Single cell organisms flowing below skin surface

Know more than the flesh taken by necrosis

And ill fitting preservative solution fills the jar

Eyes watch out with the hope of a dying star

Final words trapped by lips that can't rip apart

Still kicking himself, he gave decay a flying start

Cautiously, he rests himself down in the dust

No weight on the shoulders of a now headless bust

An icon to the only things he could trust

To write and to drink, all that he was, things that he must

So he dips a pen in the inky mixing liquid

Finally feeling his heartbeat unrestricted

But before he wrote those words he desperately needs

He collapsed, his body unable to breath
