In the backyard, the moonlight looks like snow. There's static-laced jazz on the radio. Why do my thoughts race at unlikely hours, while the tunes bloom from the speakers like flowers? I've lost too many truths to the night, so now I try to write them down, to keep them alive. The warmth of the bourbon, the chill of the night. I wish that everyone would stop telling me it'll be alright. I am so clumsy, I have no grace. Please don't pray for me, I know I am a fucking disgrace. Blue Ruin got a hold on me. In the end, there was hardly enough left to figure out who I was supposed to be. Blue Ruin got a hold on me. The things that I lost, I gave away for free. I tried my best not to drag you down with me. This is the fragile heart I don't want anyone else to see.
