Big Eyes from Ennui by Drew Mazur

Why do I value my failures
More than my successes?
I see you at the bar stool
In a ball cap, in your messes
And you don’t have to dress
However they tell you to

The atmosphere
When you’re in here
Let a drunken phrase
Slip into my ear

Honey, let’s shake off
The pretense of this hideaway
I will think of these
A thousand faces
Faces away

These big eyes

We can talk in platonic warmth
While we feel this out
But when your head’s over my shoulder
Making me sweat like fire’s hunger
Feeling this out
Brace yourself for a waterfall

Honey, let’s shake off
The pretense of this hideaway
I will think of these
A thousand faces
Faces away

These big eyes

When you’re feeling salty
Don’t let them tread you down
‘Cause even though it’s off the cuff
I’ll be frequently about
These big eyes

Brace yourself for a waterfall

Why do I value my failures
More than my successes?
