TV glow dancing soft on the wall Late show chatter, not thinking at all Cat on the counter, front row seat Watching me like it’s a nightly repeat Glass on the table, nothing too deep Just something casual, nothing to keep Curtains cracked open, sky turning light Still feels easy, still feels like night Pour it slow, keep it low Screenlight flicking in a glow Quick small sip, let it go Night’s not gone, moving slow Still holding on, don’t say no Stay right here in the flow Just one, maybe two Same excuse, same view Time slips loose Nope, no way, No liver truce Phone in my hand, but I’m barely tuned in Same scene looping under my skin Vodka goes smooth, barely a trace Whiskey leaves heat I don’t wanna waste Gin’s got a bite leaving brains half-dead Liquor is quicker, yeah that’s what I said Cat just blinks like it’s seen it before Like it knows how this plays out for sure Pour it neat, take the heat Glass on wood, no retreat Don’t look down, keep it clean Fade it right, in between Stay the night, low and mean Sip it slow, lost routine Just one, maybe three Counting’s not for me Let it flow, there we go Trapped in the never know Then it clicks, clean and clear Six AM, I’m already here Cat still posted, watching me choose As I line up a different excuse This ain’t leftover, not from before Fresh start sitting inside of a pour Breakfast that burns, citrus and sting Sun coming up on a questionable thing Pour it up, fill the cup Morning hits, lifting up Same old script, same old frame Wide awake, still the same Sun creeps in, no delay My mistake, start the day Just one, call it new Different penalties due Time that's lost At any cost Still feels light Through the night Screen still flicks, cat don’t care Same old ritual in the air Six in the morning, crystal clear view Wasn’t up late… I just started anew A song of delusion, what ya gonna do?
