Here's to days I can't remember
And years I don't recall
The calm before the maelstrom
The rise before the fall
Shattered glass and sirens
Black and indigo
A flash of sun and flowers and
A week of wind and snow
Can you tell me if I'll ever get that high?
If I tell you that I never could get dry?
Can you tell me this gets better?
Could you lie?
If I tell you that I never could get dry
I hear the hollow whisper and
The talk all over town
But if there's cowardice in compromise
I'll lay my armor down
There's a reason that I'm here
Could someone tell me why I came?
Trading nickels in for numbers
Trading number in for names
Can you tell me if I'll ever get that high?
If I tell you that I never could get dry?
Can you tell me this gets better?
Could you lie?
If I tell you that I never could get dry
I've been waking up and shaking off
Since I was twenty-one
But you traded out the bottle for
A bible and a gun
There's a line that I still cling to
Though I can't recall the verse
Is a dream a lie if it's deferred
Or is it something worse?
Can you tell me if I'll ever get that high?
If I tell you that I never could get dry?
Can you tell me this gets better?
Could you lie?
If I tell you that I never could get dry
