a good man doesnt drink, well ive been drinking alone

so what does that make me?

my hands they always shake and no ones calling my phone

so what does that make me?

and i know the kid with his guitar so drunk and anxious

hes been done to death but tell me what hasnt and ill try it

because im selfish enough to wanna get better

but im backwards enough not to take any steps to get there

and when you realize its a pattern and not a phase

its what youve become and its what you will stay thats ballgame

well theres a clamp around my chest that tightens

everytime i laps into another sorry story

about my miserable collapse a bronz box i keep incased in glass

and dust off whenever i want your pity

cause lately ive had to come to grips with scope

and figure how my problems stack up in a world two steps from ruin

well everyone says its rapture, well either way i realize

my shits about as small as it could be wich makes me feel worse

for even feeling this bad in the first place

(in the live version he strums then mutes where theres a *)

(and lets ring where theres a ~ )
