"Betty" lyrics
"Betty"
She used to sleep tucked in a tiny ball
Used to listen when I sang her favorite song
Held her fingers so she'd wake with me
Get drunk and sink into the couch 'fore the TV
Couple years you couldn't go outside
Thought long as she was here then I would be just fine
Had a cough that made me nervous then
Thought it would pass by time the winter met its end
Doctor said it doesn't go away
Nothing left to do but hope and medicate
Held her fingers so she'd wake with me
Get drunk and stay awake for days
I'd watch her breathe
Got her ashes from the vet today
I can't look at them or find their proper place
She used to sleep tucked in a tiny ball
Used to listen when I sang her favorite song

So if you ever twist my arm again I'll be sure to put up a fight

But I'm a...
Like Pacific - "Ketamine Jesus" It's been a few years
I'm only seeing it now
We had a long run
You were never around
I kept my distance
But your persistence was key
I'm all alone now, I'm finally free
I kind of want to watch you...
Driveways - "Drop Dead" I spent too many days
In your confinement
Captive to brazen lights
And to cursed to silence
It's a different kind of pain
Dark and defiant
Heightened adrenaline
I need a regimen
Find me a sedative...
The Story So Far - "Navy Blue" I bet it hurts to read "permanence"
I used to think on all of this
And how you don't
Damn, it's hard to find sustenance
When all I had was love for this
And now you don't
Now I just abuse substances...
