Sometimes I feel alive, and feel like giving up and giving in is really not an option
And staying up drinking all night is really not a problem
And I'm able to take my time
And all the right pieces are placed exactly where I want them
But instead I spend a day with a face that I swear that I'll never get tired of
Then spend the rest of my time feeling as if I'm too tired to get out of bed
And the alcohol just helps me rest
Until I wake up with that same pain in my chest
That's there to remind me that we're all stuck suffocating in
the city that always sleeps
And where the beer always runs out
And where nobody really cares
About the things we talk about
where its the noose you always tie
And it's the chair you always kick
And where your enemies all thrive
While your whole family gets sick
And the sickness never leaves
It turns out its hereditary
So you watch yourself get ill
As you wish time would stand still
But it never will.
