Dead Writer

Welcome to my bachelor pad
I stay here when things get bad and I
Just want to get away
Send the kids outside to play

And do whatever I want
Because I don’t want to be your lover anymore
But I’d be a fool to let you out the door

Like Exley on the davenport
Or Carver fishing off the shore, I just
Know I can write a book
One sunny day is all it took to change

Pour the booze down the drain
‘Cause I don’t want to disappoint you anymore
And I don’t know what all this drinking has been for

So tell me which part you want me to be, and I will try
If this is where the story ends, why do I have to lie to you
When I don’t want to anymore

So if there’s a way out of this mess
I’ll find it when I’m less depressed
Right now, I just want to disappear
Happiness won’t visit here

It’s true
I’m out of the loop
‘Cause I don’t want to live in this world anymore
But death is not the thing I’m looking for
