Neon Light

written by Jake Stilson

Oh say can you see by the bars neon light 

I’m really getting riled up tonight 

silhouette of a broken man 

busted fingers Beat up hands 

but I still like to drink like I’m young 

I’m two whiskeys away from a brown out 

and ain’t got nobody to call 

when the thousand yard gazes

 give way to the mazes 

I’ll have to unravel to find my way home

And it’s a hard path through foggy terrain 

where I can’t seem to find the sun for the rain 

I’ll talk about forgiveness till I’m blue in the face 

then act like it matters at all 

Oh the lessons I’m learning don’t stay learnt

 please don’t wake me up with the sun

 I’ll feel bad enough for the both of us 

if you just let me sleep it off
