But Not Enough to Sleep at Night - American Pleasure Club

A row of trash

Sits at the bottom of the fence

The cemetery

On Edmondson

On top, it’s flowers

I drive by every hour

Looming, in a dream

It’s just enough to keep me chained

My brain’s misbehaving

I spend three hours waiting

Staring at my phone

In a giant parking lot alone

Or lying prostrate outside

Menards, lit by truck light

Wanna open my heart

Wanna lay my head in Heaven’s arms

How do I know I’m not yet buried

There’s just enough to keep me wary

Last few weeks, forever floating

Face down on some highway’s shoulder

Swimming in each side street

Throwing glance at every dirty face I see

Or in the tub, face down sobbing

At the truckstop, spitting, vomiting

Enough to keep me tied

But not enough to sleep at night
