Lyrics
Sober
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
there's a shadow just behind me,
shrouding every breath I take,
making every promise empty,
pointing every finger at me
waiting like a stalking butler
who upon the finger rests.
murder now the path called "must we"
just before the son has come.
Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
something but the past and done?
why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over.
why can't we drink forever?
I just want to start things over.
I am just a worthless liar.
I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you.
trust in me and fall as well.
I will find the center in you.
I will chew it up and leave,
I will work to elevate you
just enough to bring you down
trust me.
Mother Mary won't you whisper
something but what's past and done
trust me.
I want what I want
