like a child i can sit in the corner
with these pills i can barely get by
so i wait for the hour of approval
ten minutes until it's five

and it's friday, so i don't feel so lonely
i know the wolves are out tonight
the sound of ice in a bottomless glass
tells me that all that is fine

playing guitar and i'm forgetting words
like a baby who just learned to speak
unfinished songs that i swear i'd get done
but the premise was just kind of weak

like the moon you are cold, you are distant
like the sun i can burn through the day
in the valley the echo gets longer
they've all gone away

playing guitar and i'm forgetting words
like a baby who just learned to speak
unfinished songs that i swear i'd get done
but the premise was just kind of weak

there is time to reflect and ponder
as the chips fall where they may
i will live for the sake of others
so they can do the same
