I am not a person of conviction
Don't look to me for the truth
I can't get rid of this addiction
I am drinking away my youth
My eyes carry these embers
Embers of a forgotten fire
And yes, I guess, that no one remembers...
Get me out of here.
Stupid phone calls to relative strangers
It's 4am and I'm lying on the street
My life is potentially in danger
Of having to admit defeat
Now I'm wrecked, I am such a mess...
Get me out of here.
I don't wanna sound like I'm complaining
What I'm drinking just tastes so good
These life and times can be so draining
God am I just misunderstood?
Get me out of here.
