lyrics

Speak loudly and clearly if you want me to hear.
I'm filled with smoke and with substances way past my ears.
So, if you want to get through,
You'll have to battle my blues tonight.

My mind slowly sputters - each word that you spit.
This twirling and whirling that can't seem to quit.
For a man in my state
It's too much truth to take, alright?

You give me some water and tell me I'm fine.
"You got your friends and your family and most of all time.
Regardless your sins...
Don't let them win the fight."

There are disheartening textures when I close my eyes,
But your words slither through, and the cataracts subside.
I'm not sure what this means -
Been too weak to find my sight.

Please promise a palette of colors
To paint these blues against a sunny sky.
