Look at all those faces sitting at the bar
Drinking their shots of desperation
Hoping to find the one
To take them away from their situation
Their swifty eyes sweep down the row
The background music inspires a goal
They glance and wink and gawk some more
It’s all just a melancholic picture show
They laugh and smile
To mask their tears
They rally in small talk
To forget their fears
Round after round they devour
The bitter taste of sorrow
Desperate to forever drown
Their fear of a new tomorrow
We have all been in this type of desperate and yet hopeful situation at one time or another in our lives.
