Breaker Boy

1.
you can't get through if I can't hear you and I refuse to listen to one more word from your mouth 'cause I know how you get inside my mind pretend you're on my side and its harder to remember the way things really went before you twisted up the story in constant fear but Im still here two weeks without drinking did some good for me but I still need something to ease my mind so I don't waste more time on trying to remember the way things really went before you twisted up the story leave when you want but don't go too far away leave when you want but its a long way down a heavy pour but I want more love me to the floor and tell me how much I can take before I see in circles
2.
sadly sober no fault of the wine I drank enough to put anyone in the grave a slip of the tongue is no fault of the mind Im sorry for the terrible things that I say Scared of the truth that I know I would find if I dug too deep so I just have a drink smoke in my lungs and the salt on the lime two of my favorite tastes I don't care anymore my friends forgot my number I don't care anymore but I must admit that it hurt for a bit what is the most unthinkable thing that could happen to you what if your worst nightmare came true all that you love did you know you could lose I swear I don't care anymore but who am I trying to fool wise words from a dead man walking but its just the liquor talking all hope I had left to spare vanishing into thin air
3.
go ahead I will catch up to you or maybe I'll stay behind I'll be near though Im so far from here can't relate if I tried now it fills the air choking everything I can't let it get to me anymore I stay drawn to where I won't belong to in this life is it wrong to always feel like its not worth my time if you leave take me with you anywhere on your mind lead the way I will follow anywhere you decide
4.
I miss the way it used to be those days are gone and so are we Id pour one out for the friends I have left but I need every last drop of it I cook you in the spoon watch it bubble over shoot you into the vein somehow I need you closer and when Im gone don't give me details don't fill me in don't ever ask me how things have been I miss the way it used to feel this wound is way too deep to heal I wish the best for everyone sincerely your abandoned son being strong was just as hard as its always been I hate pretending I'm giving in and when Im gone my love for you will still go on
5.
I had other plans for thirty three I took a wrong turn on the way I am hollowed out like the dead tree at the edge of your property the cigarette burn on the furniture the bottle turned into the vase stuck in this hole for the millionth time it goes down real smooth when it has no taste its hard to say things that you really think its hard to let go of the past I'm hearing that voice like a noise machine at the edge of the room when I'm trying to sleep I don't ever want to sink again im afraid of how low I can go time slows down when you come around and tell me its alright
6.
S.W.A.K.
7.
Ive been down this same road a thousand times in my life but never in the dark and I always found my way home we've all dealt with bad news its just a part of this life but never quite like this a crowded room went silent sing your praise to the ones who raised you trust no other its never safe to you're on your own now you always have been you feel the come down it always happens but never quite like this its just to much to handle Ive been down for so long its like its been a lifetime but it never was this hard and I still can't find my way home
8.
finally I know that it won't let go if it gets ahold of me I feel safe when you stay a long way away from me forget every word I said to you like I'm nobody like Im dead to you forget every word I said everything you knew everything I do
9.
Id rather be locked away with you than free chain yourself to me so Ive got no way to escape Ill stick with you through thin and thick with you get old and sick with you til the day I slip away Ill stick with you til the day I slip away
10.
will you miss the winter when its always bright and blue the footprints in the flowerbed led me to you the sound gets loud when the walls come down as they're destroyed but I sink so deep that I can sleep right through the noise lift the flood from the gates and I'll enjoy myself as it washed away everything it's all dead weight on me anyway lick the blood from the blade and I'll enjoy myself and the way it felt breathing out my last breath of the air I share with everyone I hate and I'll try to stay near you if I can float with all these anchors of mine 'cause it's hard to be alone on the tide and it's hard to be alone in my mind
