I'll drink away my problems, yes I'll wash them all down.
Looking for something ground-breaking but I found nothing, but broken ground.
I'll raise it high above my head, swing it round and round.
Soaked with blood, sweat and beer; on a mission nowhere bound.
Waiting in line just in time to see my favorite band.
The sound was bad, but that's ok, they played their best song anyway.
Nearly drank myself to death on someone else's tab.
Walked myself home all alone, counted sidewalk cracks.
Sun shines as my head begins to pound.
On my feet and out the door for a second round
Show hopping, never stopping, need another beer.
Walked myself home all alone, counted sidewalk cracks.
Lines were so long I had to sneak in,
Through the fence, hide in the crowd, the trouble begins.
Rockhill ejects me, says, "GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!"
Guess I'll just go home, better luck next year...
And I walked away
Had nothing else to say
I lost you in the fray

If every object starts at rest, then why's my mind always been so restless?
Cause I'm sitting up at night, waiting for your call.
And I don't know what to say, so I'll just make something up.
If opposites always attract, then why are my negative sides always coming back?
Cause things haven't gotten any better.
I'm so complicated to crack, but so very easy to break.
Say hi in public, but never talk in private.
Are you ashamed or am I just a joke to you?
Joke's on you this time, cause you're not the first,
To feel the way you do

There's no time like the present, to get up and get with it, and I know that I'll be resented, for the cure I have presented
There's no line between me and desire, stir the cure?
Try to rekindle this fire, it goes to show with the lack of hate within, I don't know if I'm beat or just ready to begin
Not going back, I've jumped the track
It seems this road is laid out for me, but I'm not quite so sure these days
I know its falling down, but there is no one witnessing or wondering if it makes a sound
Into the future we go
Don't look back because dont you know
You'll turn to sand or salt or stone.

I won't say anything. I'll just bite my tongue.
Sit back and watch it unravel.
According to plan or according to fate?
Should'a seen this coming a mile away.
I guess nobody's perfect; we both know that you're not.
Not the first time that you've stolen something from me.
Should'a used some foresight to prevent our big fight.
Knock down, drag out, bloody.
I know you have a history, but is that your only excuse?
And I hope it works out, cause I can tell you're all checked out.
And I really can't believe history does repeat.
All those times we fucked up, when we should'a talked it out.

Just where did things go wrong?
Can't quite exactly draw the line; well that's not true, I know exactly why we died
And why we're moving on; can't stand being in the same room
And now I don't quite feel the way I used to.
Please try hard to understand.
No no no. You can't make me. Try, though your words can't shake me.
