The temptation is always near
but I know that I'll never make the rounds
With righteous indignation I'm holding here
a vile of pure ethanol to down
'Cause I can't seem to fight
I'm not holding up alright
Well, I've been bad and I know I'm gonna pay the price
This second's all I have, it's all I can ignite
So take this look I'm giving you for the words... and recite:
Oh Lord, gimme one more chance tonight
'cause I think I'm gonna crack
Say the word and I'll look you in the eye
Say I'm wandering dry
At least, I'll be wandering...
The intervention is already here
The bile a stomach's pumping out
I'll pay attention to all that's clear
Denial is easier to spout
Oh, I'm breaking down, going in for repairs
But I'll start again if you can take me somewhere
Just leave me in the sand, let me burn my guise
And feed my body's shriveled heart to the birds... in the sky
