Lyrics Forever Bender - Banquets

Forever Bender

Out cold from long nights and long drives
I’m burnt out on sex appeal
Dare me to move on, or to lash out
Give me ugly, or just something real
I used to toss and turn a fever
Now I toss and turn my bed
Searched out the old flings, that failed me
I’ll take what I am instead
It all comes down to
I’m still me, even without you
You’ll run away, endlessly
Eat your words, ignore all the shame
We could be, 'never were', 'never speak'
It’s a forever bender with me
I tried, and quit for a challenge
I left Mom and Dad with a balance
Here’s to losing weight and losing meals
I coughed up while my voice gives out
I’ve got pills, but I wake with doubts
That I can’t sing what nobody needs to hear
Oh, I’m petty-full
I pissed in your garden, now nothing’s going to grow
Aren’t we all poets?
Yeah, I know
I collect what I can remember, in a box because I’m getting old
Forever Bender
Nothing’s going to grow
