lyrics

Remember all the people,
who left you here?
You drowned inside the turpentine
of whiskey and beer.
I'm tired and can't remember,
am I still home?
That frightening fact that creeps up on you
when you're alone.
Do you think I'm crazy?
Oh, please don't say it baby!

‘Cause you, are not yourself.
And I know I'm hurting somewhere,
and I can try.
But for now I'll just lay down,
by your side.

(Bridge)

All the plastic bibles,
and candlesticks,
couldn't cure us of involuntary habits and ticks.
It's sad to think that we once,
were happy souls.
Corrupted by the endless clips
and soap opera rolls.
Is this the way life should be?
Oh, please don't say it's not the way it could be,

‘Cause you are not yourself.
And I know you're hurting somewhere,
and I can try.
But for now I'll just lay down by your side.
And I know, its hurting somewhere
and I can try. But for now I'll just lay down,
by your side.
