Fingernail Moon

there's a fingernail moon
through a breaking of limbs in the blue august sky
I'm drunk in the backyard so I can get some thinking done
maybe I started too soon
a letter wrote not to send gave a reason why
I don't mind being lonesome if I'm the only one
how are you holding out?
I know you love the taste of those cigarettes
just because I have one doesn't mean I'll start again
but if you have your doubts
I'll put this one out and promise to quit
I will find a new addiction
what we choose to keep in a frame so strange
when a life left in boxes gathers dust
all these changes I've made feel like one big mistake
I'm leaving tonight like some kind of sacrifice
there's a broken glass jar
that rolls in the back of your automobile
that rattling sound reminds me of my younger days
when there was nowhere too far
I slept in my car
I tried to live like Neil
comes a time I suppose
when we all just lose our way
but now it's the smell of fresh paint
and the sound of the rain
that bring me to tears
I keep looking back to a portrait of some other time
when I kept a loose grip
I felt a tug on my wrist and I pulled away
these days, those days are on my mind
when you're asleep at night
I'm awake rustling throught these pages I've kept since June
I'll do my best to hide these demons you decided
were too close for comfort
and too involved in this fight
were we so far out of reach
it seems to me to be such a waste
in times like these to say we're incomplete
oh how could we end this
oh how could we end this
oh how could we end this right here?
