Hopeless Ocean Drinker

You’re only restless in your right mind

You’re only confused when there’s no water on the lenses

When terms are absolute

Another hopeless ocean drinker swallowing all the blue

Another vessel of undone dreams

Like a kiss that misses the mouth

A promise peeling off of the skin

A miracle feeling with limited meaning

You always overdosed on lost time

Things that you didn’t do

Three lovers sleeping in the same bed

Some 'Jane Says' karaoke fools

And when you tried to make yourself puke

It was no use

It was already in your bloodstream

Like a kiss that misses the mouth

You just regurgitate what you’ve been

A parasite feeding

The world is uneven

Even when the windshield popped out

You were just a passenger buckled in

Careening and bleeding

You still couldn’t feel it

You just want to sleep through the collision

Sleep through every decision

Twenty-one to thirty-seven

Come to when you’re either forgotten or forgiven

Your lungs fill with fluid in less than a minute.
