Well that bottle in your hand, is it your fourth, is it your fifth?
I’m sure you had something to tell me, but with your slur, it must’ve slipped
Between the pills and pure regret that you’ve been hammering away all night
And in the morning, when you wake up, yeah just do it all again
You say you’re getting close to closure
But I’m losing you my friend
Between the hangovers and hangups
On the conquests of the night before
Is this really who you are? Are you who you wanna be?
Found your lifeless bones just laying in the street
(Your lifeless bones just laying in the street)
Tell me where you’re gonna stop, that last line you wanna cross
I just need to know when you’re gonna stop
So I can get you home
What’s it like to see your passion swallowed up or poured away?
Cause I spent more time than money, watching mine just do the same
You are the name upon your knuckles
You are the tales you tell to all your friends
Destruction brings upon creation, so burn the last few bridges down
Cover all your house in mirrors, so you can see what you are now
But promise me you’ll stand up taller
When the fire’s cleared away from your mouth
Is this really who you are? Are you who you wanna be?
Found your lifeless bones just laying in the street
(Your lifeless bones just laying in the street)
Tell me where you’re gonna stop, that last line you wanna cross
I just need to know when you’re gonna stop
So I can get you home
Whiskey on your lips, extends the fire in your heart
You think you’re tearing down the walls
But it's yourself you tear apart
I know all about lighting fires, but at some point it’s gotta stop
Tell me brother, when’s the last match gonna drop?
Tell me brother, when's the last match gonna drop?
(I know all about lighting fires, but at some point it’s gotta stop)
Tell me brother, when's the last match gonna drop?
(When's the last match, when's the last match gonna drop?)
Is this really who you are? Are you who you wanna be?
Found your lifeless bones just laying in the street
(Your lifeless bones just laying in the street)
Tell me where you’re gonna stop, that last line you wanna cross
I just need to know when you’re gonna stop
So I can get you home
