Sober

Sober
Spinning star
we were speaking in circles
Cigarette after cigarette
we spun the signs
You were blue
like the earth on your shoulder
You looked sadder and older
than the crumbling view

I don't have the sense to walk away
I just want to see you sober
You withdrew
into violent reactions
I can't take the actions
to get through to you
and I knew
you were desperate and tired
and I felt like a coward
for humoring you
I don't have the sense to walk away
I just want to see you sober
sober
