Broken Nose

fire always falls on sacrifice. 
I am not a place for cowards.

I sit in tennessee whiskey
with kentucky heart,
drinking scotch
with a nickel
and a birthday behind before me. 

I wanna tell you there
is a really good reason 
I broke your heart
but the common algebra is love. 

and I don't know what to say.

sew me soul to kites,
and send me off into the silly night
to be captured by other reasons
close to the thrown.
