Retrospect is best
I'll buy a camera and record some stuff
All I thought is that it could be fun
The question that came next
Is if my memories lead to stark regret
Well then why would I watch?
For every crater on the moon
There's an empty beer around the room
Only wanted sleep
Could you show me my options?
Nothing left to drink
Holding on so the nausea might subside
♪
So what then?
Do nothing for fear I'll remember what I've been
No prodigal son
Maybe an inconvenience
Poison tеnds to taste sweet
Failures tend to think thеy know
What's good for themselves but then I see
For every crater on the moon
There's an empty beer around the room
Only wanted sleep
Could you show me my options?
Nothing left to drink
Holding on 'til the nausea breaks
Is this the punishment I've earned?
Relive who I've been when at my worst
Every single night
Looking for a distraction
Waiting for the sun to rise
Pretty sight for some hollow eyes
♪
Peeling at labels, the minor stimulation keeps my mind up
(Laying in bed, there's a brave assumption I won't try to crawl out)
Hiding my face when in public, let's avoid all confrontation
(They say you can't force it, then how can I change myself?)

It's always there so it can hold me back
From the things that I want
