Sober

You drowned yourself in whiskey You said to buy some bravery But you didn't find a message in that bottle you've been drinking You've tried to burn it from both ends At times, she helped you play pretend But you still always say "She backed a horse that died in the gate" Over and over you're smoking a sober cigarette I know you ain't sober but it's almost over It just hasn't happened yet Don't you see that sunrise in the corner of your eyes? Don't you think it's so strange, what you found in the rain? Brother, don't you give up You hear this all the time But your life's gonna change On that, I'd bet my name That time you tried to overdose You countered it by getting stoned You pick on every poison any time your world ends You're bleeding through your sobriety And our mutual friend anxiety I'm not the golden standard, by any means But we'll see this through together Over and over you're smoking a sober cigarette I know you ain't sober but it's almost over It just hasn't happened yet Don't you see that sunrise in the corner of your eyes? Don't you think it's so strange, what you found in the rain? Brother, don't you give up You hear this all the time But your life's gonna change On that, I'd bet my name Over and over you're smoking a sober cigarette I know you ain't sober but it's almost over It just hasn't happened yet It just hasn't happened yet Don't you see that sunrise in the corner of your eyes? Don't you think it's so strange, what you found in the rain? Brother, don't you give up You hear this all the time But your life's gonna change On that, I'd bet my name
