lyrics

I’ve spent all of my life, in the dark,
Not knowing what to do, or where on earth to start.
I guess I fell in with the wrong crowd, forgot myself, got too loud,
And now it’s time to change my watermark.

I’ve lost track of all I’ve drank, of all I’ve used,
I lost myself in drugs, in sex and booze,
My friend was always in a needle, or at the bottom of a glass,
And now it seems there’s not much left to choose.

Oh The pain of going dry, of going clean
The shakes of regret, over how I’ve been,
I’m going dry, Oh I, I’m tryin’ to get clean.

I’ve been a lucky man, in the past,
Always got what I wanted, and always got it fast.
I’m scared that I take it all for granted; I don’t deserve this wealthy life.
I should have guessed my luck would never last.

Line it up, roll it up, snort it up,
Pour it out, top it off, drink it down,
Take me home, into bed, start the fun,
Melt it down, suck it up, stick it in.

Oh The pain of going dry, of going clean
The shakes of regret, over how I’ve been,
I’m going dry, Oh I, I’m tryin’ to get clean.
