lyrics

Lately all I'm seeing is the filth in this place
Usually that'd mean me but I broke every mirror
That I could find, to try and get my mind
Off the look of hopelesness on my face
I'm not trying to preach nihilism
I'm just saying fuck all of you
If you think that this is the best we can do
Then I don't want, whatever you got to offer
Or maybe I'm insane to try and fight for change
Or just that my concept of the word
Is much different than yours
But be that as it may, I just want to live to see the day
When we could say we're free but it seems
That's something only I could get behind
So tell me why, should I fucking bother?
Maybe all that I'll believe in
Is malt liquor and whiskey
Smoking crack in this crumbling city
The drugs are doing the talking
If you gotta shot then hit me
If you got another shot then hit me
I'm starting to think that I could be content
Dying here on the sidewalk
a cardboard sign and some cigarettes
Dying like this, a filthy begger
Spanging you and your kids
Not fighting for shit or hoping for better
But will I have to do it all alone?
Thought I was in love with you, but I was in love with the drugs
So I'd regret what I said if I could recall what it was
And when I dream, you're right here with me
Dying ever so happily
But when I wake, I'm alone again
Still hating you and every last one of my friends
Maybe all that I'll believe in
Is malt liquor and whiskey
Smoking crack in this crumbling city
The drugs are doing the talking
If you gotta shot then hit me
If you got another shot then hit me
Maybe this is what I want to be
Talking at no one, hopelessly in love with my insanity
Laughing my dirty self to death
Springting in circles, hunger in stomach and chaos in head
But will I have to be it all alone?
Thought I was in love with you, but I was in love with the drugs
So I'd regret what I said if I could recall what it was
And when I dream, you're right here with me
Dying ever so happily
But when I wake, I'm alone again
Still hating you and every last one of my friends
But will I have to hate them all alone?
