The Promise Ring

Bread And Coffee

The Promise Ring


Drown yourself in bread and coffee 
Fast forward right through the news 
We spend weeks just window shopping 
What else can we really do? 
We could be anybody 

Every time you take the water 
We are too afraid to smile 
Our faces turn transparent paper glass after a while 
We see everybody  

It's a long distraction between our satisfactions 
Any good time should be just rolling by 
Now the bees are indicators 
Maybe we should go outside. 
A fire drill keeps humming 
There are floods that change the tide 
There's one day for everybody 

We are pairs of apple lions 
Starved for clothes that we could wear 
Long strings of double lookers 
Easy listeners everywhere 
We could be anybody 

It's a long distraction between our satisfactions 
Any good time should be just rolling by 
We keep a graveyard of ships sunk in glass 
The silverware is buried out back 
It's a long distraction between our better actions 
Any good time should be just rolling by
