Blocked nose blues

 Got the block nose blues,

Trying to shake off the stress.

Trying to make the most of the weekend, 

two days off to be myself. 

Trying my best.

I don't mind being your left arm.

Though I can't shield you from harm.

Don't close your eyes,

Embrace,

Because if you feel the hurt,

Then you no longer 

have to worry about the pain.

The scars heal in time. 

And everything will be fine. 

 Another  blocked nose Monday, 

Another week wishing things were fine.

Numb yourself

 2 nil

Cheap thrills

Kebab sauce all over you.

Don't care,

Sing and swear.

Call up your girl,

But she is raging at you.

Long walk home,

Two steps forward one back,

Sure best craic.

Fall asleep, singing your favourite song,

Sleeping talking, half dressed.

And this is how we numb ourselves.

Monday

 Up all night

I got demons to fight.

Work all day,

Got bills to pay.

So quiet,

With so much to say.

If I sneezed,

Would you say "bless you".

And would you listen?

If I told you all the things I like about you.

Would you help me?

If I fell?

Be the words on my lips

When I can't speak?

Help me find my dancing feet?
