Today I Drank a Beer

where do you go at night, when the lights go down?

when darkness surrounds this world,

to whom do you call out?

the end was never clearer, than it is right now,

at this very moment, lost somewhere in-between

the living and the dead, somewhere out on the edge

where no one wanders for long;

don’t let it end now, hold on for just

one more round, try just a little more,

reach for the only chance you ever had,

the music guides you down unknown paths,

it is here you have longed to be from the very

beginning, it is here you have waited

all your life;

I don’t know what it all means,

I only know that it means something,

or at least it certainly feels that way,

sometimes it comes so close, then slowly

fades away, I continue trying to stuff

round pieces into square holes,

but today I drank a beer,

without the need to slam it down,

moving on to the next,

I controlled it, it didn’t control me,

and strange as that may sound,

somehow it all fit,

it fit like a bloody glove,

lying in some back street alleyway,

ss this journey takes continuous turns,

down one-way, empty streets;

they give me legitimacy,

allowing me to fit into a world,

I would otherwise never belong.
