J Card from Convertible Life by MARLBORO

Staring at my face on the J Card I can see all of my pain
Inside the mug shot frame
The life all washed away
I can smell the bar at Bacchus in the sleepy New Paltz town
I’m still wandering around
Searching for the modern sound

I flip my longest finger to the jaded dreams that my high school head had
I’m now happier than sad
I’m now thinking like my Dad
So bury me deep well beneath the canyons of my mind
Beyond the Nashville skyline
In the badlands of my time

Cause I sing from the heart babe
And you just mess with my brain
Yeah I speak in confidence babe
And you just manipulate
Don’t call me insane
Don’t dig out my grave

The brothers broke up I’m nothing now but a one man solo show
Watching the trash bands make it big
While I scribble on my page
So woe is me whoa look at me
Caught in the mental rodeo
The one I keep spiraling down
The one I can’t seem to get out
So I take a sip
Swish and spit all the poison out my mouth
I look up to see my face
I’m the only one to blame

Well I could pass away
And you’d forget my face
