After a couple glasses The floorboards don't feel so secure And I'm afraid I could really go down tonight I'm out-numbered by the ashes Held hostage by the door And the air in here is so damn loud tonight
But I've got this old four-by-six photograph Your face pressed up against my shoulder Little pools of salt mark where tears have dried And I've got this big needle stuck in my chest So deep it's starting to tickle I'm a thousand miles from the chimera I chase Love is a sadness with a face
There's a darkness in all wanting My intentions all feel stained And the Devil keeps filling my glass tonight My adrenaline is clotting And the faces in here all seem strange But I just want to touch something that'll last tonight
If I could just taste one sip of an answer Maybe I could break out of this drunkard's prison I'm homesick for a place I might have never seen Something more than these old feet brought me here So these feet can't take me away No I didn't get here on my own Whoever brought me here's gonna have to bring me home
I'm a thousand miles from the chimera I chase Home is a sadness, not a place
