The Dove and the Porcupine

The stars are beginning to shine
On the gnarly tail of the dove and the porcupine
There's an argument to be made to get up and dance
But it's not like you to take that kind of chance

The wolves are beginning to howl
Your brother's lost in the woods and you don't know how
There's an argument to be made to get up and leave
But the darkness of the night you can't conceive

And I see you haven't lost your touch
And I've not seen you round that much
Have you lost your god damn mind?
Leaving all your sedatives behind

The mask is beginning to slip
All eyes turn to you but you're not equipped
There's a feeling of mirth in the room you can tangibly touch
And family and friends they might scorn you it don't mean that much

The smell on your breath is of grape or of grain
The choice is important to you but results much the same
And on leaving your keys in the door you pass out in the hall
And then facing your kids in the morning it's hard to stand tall

And I see you haven't lost your touch
And I've not seen you round that much
Have you lost your god damn mind?
Leaving all your relatives behind
