Sober Lyrics

there's a shadow just behind me,
shrouding every breath I take,
making every promise empty,
pointing every finger at me
waiting like a stalking butler
who upon the finger rests.
murder now the path called "must we"
just before the son has come.
Jesus, won't you f*cking whistle
something but the past and done?
why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over.
why can't we drink forever? I just want to start things over.
I am just a worthless liar.
I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you.
trust in me and fall as well.
I will find the center in you.
I will chew it up and leave,
I will work to elevate you
just enough to bring you down
trust me.
Mother Mary won't you whisper
something but what's past and done
trust me.
I want what I want
