Crystal Meth Blues (About Forgiveness)

Somewhere in the back of my memory elbow and glass collide.

The smell of burning shower curtains—today I'll stay on your good side. "

I promise not to get too drunk.

I promise not to eat today.

I promise just another pill or two and then I'll be OK."

Somewhere in the back of my memory foot and mouth collide.

I know you think I could have done better; I swear to god I tried. "

I promise not to get too drunk.

I promise not to get fucked up.

I promise just another drink or two and that will be enough."

I promise I won't yell no more, or kick your brother to the floor.

I promise I won't make your mother cry." Your promises were always lies.

You said if I ever ran away, you would cry every day.

I know you're sorry.
