lyrics

I guess it feels alright, if only for the night
What's in the bottles has been drained
Lulling the first fits of suicide
And while the blood moon waxed and waned
Cast a grim light on risin' tides
Why is it nothing seems to change
Something always comes back to bite
Oh, no other spirits fill the whole
Left by yours now, the pain's still there
You're just licking wounds and getting stoned
Yeah, like therapy's being impaired
And let depressants take control
Numbing the feeling
Could have it all, you'd never know
Could have it all and you still wouldn't care

'Cause in the morning you'll be breakin' down
You feel alright, you're holding back for now
But in the morning you'll be breakin' down
It's always this way

Kill the light when seeing's too much
Somethin' they're saving just for you
Help you lean on an old crutch
You know something quick could get you through
Don't you realize you had enough
Do you think they'd have it off then if they knew
They're just one more thing to be ashamed of

'Cause in the morning you'll be breakin' down
You feel alright, you're holding back for now
But in the morning you'll be breakin' down
It's always this way

'Cause in the morning you'll be breakin' down
You feel alright, you're holding back for now
But in the morning you'll be breakin' down
It's always this way

Feels alright, if only for the night
What's in the bottles fades away
Dry and accosted by daylight
A sickening guilt and fits of shame
Twisting up inside
Can't always carry the weight
Of everything you've been burnt by
