Deaths and Entrances

[Verse 1]

Pubwards we crawled again

Queue had skewed around the bend

And me, the last of all my friends

Halloween in Galway

I'm sorry buddy not tonight

Peter muttered steely-eyed

The lads are in and out of sight

Concerned as always

[Verse 2]

I wandered lonely as the crowd, turns a darker shade of loud

My brain picks apart and teases over all I might do wrong

While someone dressed as Jesus is wailing Redemption Song

Past the couple having dinner, both staring at their phones

Past the broken-hearted cupids saying "How could I have known?"

After he said "Don't be stupid", turned Houdini with the truth

Now she's banging back the bottle of one-hundred percent proof

Past the Robin Hood who's handing food out to a homeless girl

Says, I remember how it feels to be forgotten by the world

Then looks into the camera says "Poverty must end"

Checks his Rolex and steps back into his new Mercedes-Benz

Past the David Foster Wallace bandana in his hair

Who mentions Dostoevsky when he's sure someone's can hear

Then argues with the barman on existential themes

And heads into the bathroom to Google what it means

Saying "I'm not shy I'm understated

The Mona Lisa is overrated

I stopped trying to make me perfect

Because being human is complicated"

I'm sorry buddy not tonight

I'm sorry buddy not tonight

[Verse 3]

And back down to earth again

Having beaten myself around the bend

Which meads that lead to bitter ends

I see your face less

A gravity about you, something in the eyes

One of those conversations where you don't need to try

The game of who can tell the most earnest lie

And my hopeless rumination clocks out for the night

Until you say take off your mask

You reach out to find the clasp

I say I kinda watch you gasp [?]

Laughing you say "Goodnight"
