Anyway, I Reach Quotes

“I have a fight in me,
and nothing civilized like
pistols at dawn, no,
more like a bar fight,
a brawl,
a couple of drunken fools
who think they know
a thing about a thing.
That's the kind of fight
I have in me,
yes, a dirty fight, an ugly fight,
I smash the bottle against the wall
and come at you with
the shards of it,
is how I tell you
not to go,
is how I growl at you
to stay,
I say, fight me, damn you, fight me,
no, I say fight for me, damn you, fight for me,
as your hands stay at your sides,
as you don't look me in the eye,
as you go quietly into the night
and everyone who walks past wonders
why I'm clinging to broken glass.”
