Well I could end my life tonight
But I won't
It's not that I got something to live for
Cause I don't
A simple understanding of a complicated drunk
Another empty bottle, I am sinking, I am sunk
Among the ashes of ambition lay the dirty scum
What I have become
And if I finally understood
The truth
How long before it's just dissolved in some 80 proof
I carry on because my mother always told me to
I just want something to show for it when I am through
A simple understanding of a complicated drunk
Another empty bottle, I am sinking, I am sunk
Among the ashes of ambition lay the dirty scum
What I have become
What does the world owe me
Or do I owe the world
How do I keep on dreaming
Is there some deeper meaning
How am I supposed to figure it out
Well I could end my life tonight
But I won't
