A belly of bourbon
A mouthful of morphine
Half dead and dope sick when you tried to warn me
Just like the days when we both drank to blackness
Laid out and piss drunk on some bathroom mess
It's not like you to say you like me
It's not like me do the right thing
All I know is what you show me
You're alone but never lonely
You just can't reason your way out of this one
There is no antidote when you're the poison
Restless like valley winds when we were young
Shaking these songs out with black dirty lungs
Try to make some sense of this right
Or just how it seems to me
I've been chasing down a past life
I cut off so easily
She had a name on her wall
Crossed out and painted over
And it's getting it harder to keep it together
We're only here for a fleeting and brief time
So is this what we have been waiting for
The killing of what it means to be a human being
Time is always the wolf at the door
