Let It Lie

Sometimes it's a woman Sometimes it's the work Sometimes it's a whiskey bottle That's got me by the shirt Sometimes it's the smart phone Or bingin' on TV Sometimes it's the pills I take For my anxiety I got this pounding in my brain Says keep on goin' with that thing It's alright to set the rest aside Obligations let 'em slide Gotta' keep goin' 'til the light burns out Then wonder what the hell it's all about Gotta' keep goin' but I don't why I can't just let it lie Sometimes it's my family Sometimes it's my wife Sometimes it's just thinkin' 'bout What I'm doing with my life Sometimes it is Jesus Sometimes it's the gym Most the time it's something Besides either one of them I got this pounding in my brain Says keep on goin' with that thing It's alright to set the rest aside Obligations let 'em slide Gotta' keep goin' till the light burns out Then wonder what the hell it's all about Gotta' keep goin' but I don't why I can't just let it lie April 10, 2018
