lyrics

It’s a Sunday night and there’s tepid conversation
Clouds hang inside the room as it starts fading
Passing of time, losing my shine
Feeling benign, drinkin’ blank wine
As a child I felt that it was so depressing
To play “I spy” like there was any point in guessing
Spending the night silently high
Feeling benign, drinkin’ blank wine
Passion burned but now I’m understanding
I’m a little man on a bad planet shouting
and it’s lonely, yes it’s lonely…
When will I rev up my mind?
Feeling benign, drinkin’ blank wine
