lyrics
Handful of bottles and empty bravado,
And lonely Friday nights
Find you broken, you’ve spoken, and nobody knows when,
You arrived.
Like a deer in the headlights, rooted there in fright.
Just a normal weekday night.
You’d give in to sorrow, but there’s work tomorrow,
And the days still come and go.
If you take a break, it seems fake and you’ll only make
Trouble, but you know,
Like a man trying to hold a river, you let it all slip by.
Makes you wonder why you try.
Coughed up pills and scribbled wills,
And the dark vacuum of space.
Roses grow between your toes
And ashes on your face.
Rain and snow and sunshine, out of place.
So what’s there if you care to make fair your own share,
What’s chosen, what can you choose?
Don’t speak, the thoughts leak, you’re so strange, a true freak,
With worthless worlds to lose.
Like a well-worn pair of boots, it seems you’re always tread upon.
But if it helps, you’re not the only one.
And lonely Friday nights
Find you broken, you’ve spoken, and nobody knows when,
You arrived.
Like a deer in the headlights, rooted there in fright.
Just a normal weekday night.
You’d give in to sorrow, but there’s work tomorrow,
And the days still come and go.
If you take a break, it seems fake and you’ll only make
Trouble, but you know,
Like a man trying to hold a river, you let it all slip by.
Makes you wonder why you try.
Coughed up pills and scribbled wills,
And the dark vacuum of space.
Roses grow between your toes
And ashes on your face.
Rain and snow and sunshine, out of place.
So what’s there if you care to make fair your own share,
What’s chosen, what can you choose?
Don’t speak, the thoughts leak, you’re so strange, a true freak,
With worthless worlds to lose.
Like a well-worn pair of boots, it seems you’re always tread upon.
But if it helps, you’re not the only one.
