I Love to Write

I am a lil' dark today,
There's heavy guitar in the air,
There's whisky running on my mind,
I am a lil' heavy today

Carving thoughts in the dark
Bare memories wrestling each other
Bare feelings that I thought long over
Silently boxing in the dark

Sat on the leather, I smile
I watch myself with distant irony
I watch myself pour another whisky.
How the hell can I still smile?

This heaviness needs to be set alight
Maybe the spirit in my glass will help
Maybe the taping of my foot will shake it
The arson in me wants to turn it to light

I was in a funk and could've picked a fight
But spirit keeps my feet off the ground
But music feels my veins with sweet beats
Floating, weightless, watch me take my flight.
