fire safe cigarettes, caramel covered in chocolate
coffee, alcohol, sticks of incense and a bracelet
cheap generic trail mix, half a pack of matches
dust and dirt and ashes
napkins and a candle
i choose to keep my eyes open and i choose to keep this coffee table full.
tell me something useless, something more amusing
than a plane crash in the mountains, kidnapped kids
and houses blowing up.
tell me something different! something i haven't heard yet
edit the fucking news strip, mister, some of us haven't slept yet
i choose to keep my eyes open and i choose to keep this television on
i choose to keep my eyes open so i won't be sleeping alone.
rock 'n' roll magazines, papers, bowl, a bag of weed
pencils, notebooks, my bare feet.
poems i wrote and a mix cd.
i choose to keep my eyes open and i choose to keep this coffee table full
i choose to keep my eyes open and i choose to keep this television on
i choose to keep my eyes open so i won't be sleeping alone.
