(Bukowski)
Well, hello there, my friend, what's on your mind?
Let's talk about life, the struggles we find.
Pull up a stool, share your thoughts with me,
In this barroom exchange, we're both set free.
(Verse 2: Charles Bukowski)
I light my cigarette, take a sip of my drink,
Ready to listen to what you have to think.
Speak to me of your dreams, your fears, your desires,
In this conversation, our souls will catch fire.
(Kentin Jivek)
I tell you of my creative journey, the highs and lows,
The doubts that haunt me, the passion that flows.
I seek your wisdom, your seasoned insight,
To guide me through the darkness, to shine a light.
(Bukowski)
Ah, the creative path, a treacherous road indeed,
But listen closely, my friend, and take heed.
Embrace your scars, your failures, and strife,
For they shape your art and give it life.
(Verse 3: Kentin Jivek)
We delve into deeper topics, the state of the world,
Its injustices, its chaos, its flags unfurled.
We discuss the struggles of the human race,
And how our words can leave a lasting trace.
(Bukowski)
The world is a mess, a constant battle it seems,
But through our words, we can share our dreams.
Expose the truth, challenge the status quo,
For art has the power to make hearts glow.
(Verse 4: Charles Bukowski)
We share stories of love, of heartbreak and pain,
Of women who have left their mark, their stain.
We laugh and lament, recounting the years,
In this conversation, we drown our fears.
(Kentin Jivek)
The complexities of love, the wounds that we bear,
Through our shared experiences, we find solace there.
We honor the women who've shaped our hearts,
Their presence in our lives, like pieces of art.
(Outro)
As the night wears on, the bar grows dim,
Our conversation lingers, like a lingering hymn.
Two souls connected, in this fleeting embrace,
In this conversation, a moment we'll forever trace.
