'If you don’t realize you’re gonna die
your life is just an empty lie'
it says on the can door
Tim pours out the gin bottle
”when I was younger
I was FULL of energy
wanted to do everything!
I can’t do anything…
I’m looking for something…
there’s nothing…
maybe I’ll kill myself
- into the shadows…”
the girl shudders
Tim rolls a cigarette
”there’s nothing left of me
when I’m 26-27…”
Jethro Tull from the hi-fi set
they kiss for a long time
so long that I remember them the next day
standing by the hopeless highway
soaking wet from rain
their lips
their soft kisses
glowing flowing hard liquor
glowing flowing tears and fears
