lyrics

I got home late last night / it was all locked up / I guess that's your way of saying you've had enough / I wish I could say the same because I've had my fill / but I don't think this stuff is gonna stop 'til it kills /

All the things that I've lost don't even seem to faze me / my devotion to destruction never ceases to amaze me / Either I must be stupid or just flat out crazy / like you said you're the first and the last to ever love me, baby /

I put on a mask every night and go downtown / there life is simple / you make friends by buying rounds / But the mornings are harder because I wake up all alone / with my shame like a fuse burning down to the bone /

I would apologize if I had the sincerity/ but these days it don't seem like there's much here left of me / you don't have to speak / I know you agree / Like you said / I'm a ghost of the man / that I used to be /

I'm haunting his skin / here we go again / look at this mess that I'm in / I pray every day / for this madness to end /
