about

...As he was going about daily life in the hospital, he gets invited to the bachelor party of his friend Hyuga. With a depressive mindset to begin with starts to drown himself in alcohol and deep thoughts about relationship and its state in the modern world...

lyrics

[13]

Cigars and whiskey and poker and bros
late night conversations, smoke in my nose
tonight I keep together, ignore “no place home”
my gut will sober, but my life stays stoned

I feel at least twelve pieces are within my soul
this and that and you and we and all our hopes.
Bros celebrate your “we” to come, and we all know:
“When my cards come together, you will crash at my home.”

In two days we’ll stand with and we will all feel weird
You in joy and us for what? we still don’t know
You’ve forced us to be honest; we can’t bluff or fold:
“My faith can’t move a mountain; I’ve got no wife to show.”

Wedding vows are funny things, they are not your own
Those married think on “what we’ve done” while singles fuss and woe.
“Is it something that I’ve done? Or something I must be?”
In dread, in hope, in fear, in lust, we bet; the Dealer sees

Cigars and whiskey and poker and bros
legal and in moderation, safety: couch and floor
today I keep together, head out to the show.
There’s no time for thinking. It’s logistics. Here we go.

but

under that

today I keep together, ignore “no place home”
my gut will sober, but my life stays stoned
