Bacchanal of Regret

Pour another mistake

Drink up all the trouble

Dream of a bigger dream

And watch it turn to rubble

 

Why not let the chorus rage

Driving hard into the night

The mind’s endless fever pitch

Of vibrato wrong and right

Have a slice of failure

One more bite of regret

Then retreat into a song

Why not add another debt

 

Burn every paper memory

Ashes dancing toward the sky

Forgotten to tomorrow

Just another sparkle in the eye
