I know death and taxes, they can´t be out run I thought I´d have more time before the race begun Lost my father at twenty and I lost you last week How can I cope, I still haven´t found me
I´ve tried different religions and psychic hotlines Must be someway to hear your laugh one more time So I self-medicate to stay comfortably numb Knowing sooner or later ya my day will come
I need chemicals to sleep To see you in my dreams If I take enough maybe one day we´ll speak Oh, when I wake back up You won´t be there to talk These photos and voicemails of you aren´t enough Let me close my eyes ´Cause I can´t stand the mourning Let me close my eyes ´Cause I can´t stand the mourning
All my friends and my therapist tell me stay strong
But I haven´t hit the gym in well, God knows how long All my smiles and tattoos are doing their part They´re all putting in overtime to cover my scars Can´t pretend that it´s still the best day of my life When I tell you the truth, you say, it´s all a lie So I´ll pour one out and pour my heart into a drink ´Cause I´d rather pay for whiskey than a mid-level shrink
I need chemicals to sleep So I´ll see you in my dreams If I take enough maybe one day we´ll speak Oh, when I wake back up You won´t be there to talk
These photos and voicemails of you aren´t enough Let me close my eyes ´Cause I can´t stand the mourning Let me close my eyes ´Cause I can´t stand the mourning
