Crystal Meth Blues (About Forgiveness)

Somewhere in the back of my memory
Elbow and glass collide
The smell of burning shower curtains
Today I’ll stay on your good side

“I promise not to get too drunk
I promise not to eat today
I promise just another pill or two
And then I’ll be ok.”

Somewhere in the back of my memory
Foot and mouth collide
I know you think I could have done better
I swear to God I tried

“I promise not to get too drunk
I promise not to get fucked up
I promise just another drink or two
And that will be enough.”

“I promise I won’t yell no more
Or kick your brother to the floor
I promise I won’t make your mother cry.”
Your promises were always lies

You said if I ever ran away
You would cry every day
I know you’re sorry
