Now I think its time
for something new
a change in my faith
maybe my direction too
I'm going to get drunk
this one last time
and talk to myself,
until I know exactly why
So, I'm going to get drunk
I'm going to blur them lies
until I'm grabbing for my glasses
trying to see through my eyes
I'm going to pass out
dream for the rest of my life
and convince myself
I don't miss this life
yea, I'm going to pass out
I don't know exactly why
but I hope to wake one last time
and promise myself the best of lies
I'm going to stand up
I'm going to wash my eyes
but I'll still be seeing
through lenses covered in flies
I'm going to stand up
and follow those cries
that come from within
yet I here the echos in the wind
maybe I'll put these words to song
but I'm no musician
and my voice is all wrong
thats ok, they'll be fine alone.
