Obvious Question

I am sitting over here

the line is safety drawn

the obvious question is

how long does this go on?

Alcohol danced upon his nerves

played upon his skin

made him mad inside

broke everything within

and now it does the same to me

in needlepoints of fire

wreathed around my neck

the spirits take the man

and leave behind a wreck

I am sitting over here

the line is safety drawn

the obvious question is

how long does this go on?
