about

this song is off of the first recording "13 songs by sober becky". its an old song about having an achey 17 year old heart, more or less...and being dissapointed about how lame things can be when i make them that way

lyrics

august i drank coffee black, despite the bitter taste, solely for the purpose of keeping myself awake. i wouldn’t want to waste the night sleeping...some things could be too great to sacrifice for dreaming. The other day I got so stoned I couldn’t see i have put myself behind a wall of apathy and misery an obstruction to progress that is hard to pass when you’re slogging through these days like mud, stuck in the past. so I’ll try another time to search for what I never find at the bottom of another empty bottle of wine. I’m holding happiness in a paper bag (again).its just the same old wasted way to waste away another weekend. another one to forget. i’d give you the moon on a silver string, that’s a reflection of the happiness we tend to get from owning things, it’s not a lunar happiness device, it’s a home and the property rights belong to cheese, a man and a rabbit pounding rice. The other day I got so stoned I couldn’t see i have put myself behind a wall of apathy and misery an obstruction to progress that is hard to pass when you’re slogging through these days like mud, stuck in the past. so I’ll try another time to search for what I never find at the bottom of another empty bottle of wine. I’m holding happiness in a paper bag (again).its just the same old wasted way to waste away another weekend. Will it be one of those nights ending with uncommitted kisses that taste like cigarettes? Another one to forget. a dream came alive. then it died. it exploded. only a memory survived. and you’d be wise, to put aside, any effort to revive it.
