Me And My Friends

Me and my friends

we don't encourage discipline

or really much of anything.

we do our drugs 'till we're lit up.

tell ourselves that this is love.

but it's never added up

and it will never be enough.

it's the same corner booth,

the same smith street bar,

the same sour mouths,

and the same empty arms.

forever and ever our lives

on a loop.

it's the same dollar draft,

the same whiskey words,

the same hanging heart,

and the same old scorched earth.

we're further and further

away from the truth.

i wanna stop it.

i wanna stop it.

i wanna stop it.

but it's the only life i know how to live

we make a mess of what matters

give our good grace away

we try to drink the clock backwards

and pretend like nothing's changed

but you think i'm a liar, but you think i'm a fake

and i think you're a coward, but it's not what i say

i call you my brother, and you call me the same

i wanna stop it.

i wanna stop it.

i wanna stop it.

but it's the only life i know how to live

let the smear words spew out of the sides of my mouth

go be my ghost and i'll got be yours

my brother, pour me one more

yeah tonight brother pour me one

yeah tonight i'll just cut you one more

yeah tonight i'll just cut you one more
