Under Your Influence
Drink up your bottled sincerity quick
To feel its warm sensation on your throat,
Sloppily singing tales of better lives
To sober up your drunken state of bliss.
Like a perfume of truth, alcohol speaks-
Sloppily,
Lazily,
But reality escapes all the same.
Tears of an embittered heart bubbling
From the depths of a champagne bottle
And twenty years lost to the factory.
