Lost My Shape

You used to feel like a smoker shivering in the cold

Waiting outside the bar 'til the opener's over

But now you feel like a drinker 20 days off the sauce

Down at the liquor store trying to call your sponsor

You used to feel like the forest fire burning,

But now you feel like a child throwing tantrums for your turn

You used to sound like a prophet

Everyone wanted to know

How you could tell the truth without losing that soft glow

But now you feel like a salesman closing another deal

Or some drunk ship captain raging after the white whale

You used to feel like a forest fire burning

But now you feel like a child throwing tantrums

And then some

You used to feel like the prodigal returning

But now,

Now you hate what you've made

And you want to watch it burn
