The title is taken from the song « Between the Bars» by Eliott Smith
who died at young age, an addict, stabbed (supposedly self inflicted)
I could have picked any verse really
Such haunting lyrics.

——
Drink up baby, stay up all night,
With the things you could do, you won’t, but you might,
The potential you’ll be, that you’ll never see,
Promises you’ll only make.

Drink up with me now
And forget all about
The pressure of days, do as I say
And I’ll make you okay
And drive them away
The images stuck in your head

People you’ve been before
That you don’t want around anymore
They push, shove, won’t bend to your will
I’ll keep them still

Drink up baby, look at the stars
I’ll kiss you again, between the bars
Where I’m seeing you there, with your hands in the air
Waiting to finally be caught

Drink up one more time, and I’ll make you mine
Keep you apart, deep in my heart
Separate from the rest , where I like you the best
And keep the things you forgot

People you’ve been before
That you don’t want around anymore
They push, shove, won’t bend to your will
I’ll keep them still
