There’s no running from my sins.
Where would I hide
That you don’t already know?
My frown bares the burden
Of a million painful nights.
The circles under my eyes
Symbolize my fright.
One more drink, I reason with my head-
Perhaps another cigarette,
A couple of drags?
Let me gorge my stomach
On the despair of my soul
I might pacify my gut for a bit
But I’ll never fool my soul.
