lyrics

Out of luck – inebriated self-destruct
Desperate sight – from in a bottle up all night
Whatcha think – another drink to further sink
Wash it down – and count it down before you drown

Your story straight – but it’s too late – alienate
Drunken soul now in tailspin – swallowed whole
Tangled in self-pity and a fall to black
It will not be pretty when you pay it back

All too aware of the shape you’re in – now pay the piper his nickel due
The song was so sweet, but the aftertaste adding to your grief forevermore

Out of luck drunken bastard motherfuck
It’s nearly 6am now start again
Ice in a tumbler – now bottoms up
Kick-start the ways that you can be corrupt

Your story wrong and all the lies have lived too long
A black-toothed grin – another pint of bathtub gin
Tangled in self-pity and you’re all alone
Until the street becomes your home sweet home

Feet tangled up on the sticky floor—the maker coming to shake your hand
Adhesive that’s made from the things you’ve done keeps your feet frozen right where you stand

So many promises each night – vows to make it right
Can you tell me what I’d really like to know?
So many mirrors in the smoke – the true reflection always cloaked
Misdirection hides the nature of the game
Too many mirrors in the smoke – pledges made have been revoked
Misdirection hides what cannot be reclaimed

Walking circles in my brain – turning stones but can’t explain
Can you show me what I’d really like to see?
Painting colors in the sky – turn so bright – my eyes are blind
Mirrors in the smoke – throughout history

Out of time – a mountain that you cannot climb
It’s nearly midnight – swallow your last dime
Your story old and all the details are controlled
A black-toothed grin – a blackened life from blackened sin
Tangled in self-pity and you gasp for breath
Until the day you drink yourself to death
