Wrote this back in May.

I am high I am low
Last place you’d want to go
Too much rumpus walls paper thin
Night was dark dawn is near
Nothing left for me to fear
Down and out at the Royal Inn

You’d need a piece of rebar
To reinforce my heart
Don’t think I’m worthy of your time
Some tried to show me mercy
Wanted to be kind
Never came to my senses
Deaf, dumb, and blind

Humble pie’s gone to waste
I no longer like the taste
Got no money got no next of kin
This crummy old place
Looks me square in the face
Down and out at the Royal Inn

I thought I’d see it coming
Nothing turns out what it seems
Cheap whiskey expresses its regrets
Broke both of my shoulders
From the weight of the world
No more wisdom from the ashes of these stubbed-out cigarettes

Don’t think I don’t care
What part of nothing should I share
Going once, going twice you win
A curse for my crime
Paid with heartbreak paid with time
Down and out at the Royal Inn

Based on _Wrench style
