lyrics

Everything that I do
Is never good enough, see
Never seems enough for
The universe to like me
So I've been drunk a little more
Mix it with the ice tea
Triples like a haiku
With sugar like it's icy

Oh so heavy the head but it’s got no crown
I remember you told me to let you down
The mistakes that I make tend to haunt these dreams
And the memories with you do the same damn thing

Another night
Another you
Another alibi
Another night I’m feelin dirty, need to sanitize
And I remember when I would’ve given anything
Before the world became the craziest we’d ever seen

Thought we’d be better off by now
I can’t keep swallowing my doubt
At the point it all burnt out
Like things ain’t hard enough right now

I can’t get my way
Heroes rarely do
I might need some space
You might need my youth
One more round my dear
I might pass out soon
Gamble with my life
Baby needs new shoes

Another night
Another you
Another alibi
Another night I’m feelin dirty, need to sanitize
And I remember when I would’ve given anything
Before the world became the craziest we’d ever seen

Thought we’d be better off by now
I can’t keep swallowing my doubt
At the point it all burnt out
Like things ain’t hard enough right now
I won’t take this with me
I was too far gone this time
At the point it all burnt out
Like things ain’t hard enough right now
