It's hard making friends when nobody's there.
It's just a sidewalk full of mirrors and vacant stares.
It's hard to share your thoughts when nobody cares
except the creepy psychotherapists selling their wares.
And it's hard to hear my heart above all this noise.
It's hard to keep filling the void with drugs and toys.
But right now there ain't nothing that I wouldn't sell,
if for just one night I could dim the lights of this hell.
I'd take back every wasted tip and every drop that I ever spilled.
I'd walk right back to that bar and drink my fill.
It's late and the bars are closing in on me.
But here you come, giving me reason to believe.
So, the morning light is dancing in your eyes;
but deep inside I know the sun will never rise.
Now it's late again and the bars are made of steel,
and I'm praying again to something that just ain't real.
