I slit my wrist, just to watch the crimson flow
All the words I wrote, they're pooling on your floor
Your shaking hands, they won't open up this door
If it's a place we've been before, then I'm not staying
Pages caked with dust
Handwritten stories unfinished
Found myself at the end
Of a leather-bound collection
Stories written by a friend
A sweet, most certainly dead friend
And at the end a sad journey into the reflection of one's self
And it hurt as I thought, how could I
Respect wishes and just burn
Take a walk, as it burned
All his life work in a box
Under suits, a padlock
His genius understood
His last words, "Like a dog"
I could have been there and I can
But I won't because I can
Maybe I'm just getting old
Sentimental towards a friend
But I've been drinking all day long
Can't quite pinpoint what it is
I'm trying to be strong, strong for him
But I'm afraid that I just can't
♪
I see that cross, you've been wearing around your neck
I pretend like I forget, until it's on my back
Yeah, you sing my songs like you knew what they meant
You've agreed but can't respect
So put my words in embers and in ash
I'm spread thin, oh headaches
Forget it, I'll spend the next few years
With my head down low (with my head down low)
Undress them with my eyes some more
(With my eyes some more)
I've spent some time sleeping and I hate it
But I need it, I know that
Just pieces left with apathetic readjustment
Oh, my god, oh ma'am
Would you like to stay and watch the digression of a man?
I promise one hell of a show, maybe cut off both my hands
Limp around the stage till I get sick
I'm afraid that I just can't
Talk too much, no, not right now
I am losing my near sight, my wits, my smile
But I can't quite pinpoint what it is
I've been drinking for a while
Find what you love and let it kill you
And it hurt as I thought, how could I
Respect wishes and just burn
Take a walk, as it burned
All his life work in a box
Under suits, a padlock
His genius understood
His last words, "Like a dog"
I could have been there and I can
But I won't because I can
Maybe I'm just getting old
Sentimental towards a friend
But I've been drinking all day long
I've been drinking all day long
