Slave to the empty bottle that lays up on my wall I mastered the art of lies to fake what I am not I ain't seen rain in far too long But desolation comes a price but mine was all I got And so I numb to feel the joy of love again Every woman comes they stay too long To leave my heart in shreds Circle back pour a round as quickly as I can Then look inside this life of mine and toast to damaged ends Dark drives to ease my mind and take me from the noise Washed down with all my pills to fill my mental void But please believe that I'm not all gone Just lost with time and getting by with aids to help me cope So I numb to feel the joy of love again Every woman comes they stay too long To leave my heart in shreds Grab a seat pour a round as quickly as I can Then look inside this life of mine and toast to damaged ends I need purpose I need loyalty in life I might not be perfect but I know wrong from right So bring me love and stay with me awhile Don't just lay with me and lie to me and live on with such denial So I numb to feel the joy of love again Every woman comes they stay too long To leave my heart in shreds Circle back pour a round as quickly as I can Then look inside this life of mine and toast to damaged ends
