Well, time keeps knocking me on my back
I don't know how much I have left
But is this year over yet?
Feels more and more like I'm trapped
My heart keeps beating like a drum
Won't quit until my body's done
What a horror I've become
I never know what's enough
Or where to stop
But you don't have to tell me
Don't hold your breath for me
I'll be back before the morning comes
You don't have to worry
We don't quit 'til the bottle's done
Don't burn a light for me
I won't leave until I've had enough
And if the dawn's early
I'll have to kill the rising sun
Life is a race against the light
I'll tighten two grips on the night
Don't try to tell me I'm alright
When I still groan with appetite
That don't know where to stop
You don't have to tell me
Don't hold your breath for me
I'll be back before the morning comes
You don't have to worry
We don't quit 'til the bottle's done
Don't burn a light for me
I won't leave until I've had enough
And if the dawn's early
I'll have to kill the rising sun
In spite of all your love
You fear what I'll become
If this is killing me, you can't be the one to tell me
The shadow on your mind
It's growing all the time
If this is killing me, you can't be the one to tell me
I just want you to know
I finally can let this go
Don't hold your breath for me
I'll be back before the morning comes
You don't have to worry
We don't quit 'til the bottle's done
Don't burn a light for me
I won't leave until I've had enough
And if the dawn's early
I'll have to kill the rising sun
I'll have to kill the rising sun
I'll have to kill the rising sun
