Airport Bar, 7:00 AM
intravenous liquid diet; Courage
flowing through my skin

The drink it just warms
my blood still it boils
nerve endings deaden
but lungs don't recoil

Lump in my chest
lump in my throat
open the hatch
and swallow false hope

Can't cut through the air
if you can't cut the tension
but I'll fly through this flight
alcohol brings suspension

Bite my lip, hold my breath
hoping fear will pass
I will float to the horizons
'long as you will fill my glass
