There's a shadow just behind me,
Shrouding every step 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? (2x)

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 a center in you.
I will chew it up and leave,
I will work to elevate you
Just enough to bring you down.

Mother Mary won't you whisper something
but what's past and done. (2x)

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 a center in you.
I will chew it up and leave,

Trust me. (5x)

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 want what I want. (4x)
