I'll drink a lost cause with some pills and alcohol Never looked so good on paper I'm the narrator, I'm not writing it down I'll hold it in my poison and I'll pray it doesn't come back up I'm not a poster boy But I'm burning lives and crossing bridges To be a part of this Friday night routine And isn't this pathetic how we lie and tell you stories for the glory We face our lives by atalizise and by the bottle I'll drink a lost cause with some pills and alcohol Never looked so good on paper I'm the narrator I'm not writing it down I'll hold it in my poison and pray it doesn't come back up I'm not a poster boy My reputation only goes as deep as the bottom of my pocket. And your jealous cause I love what I do and I do what I want to And isn't this pathetic how we lie and tell you stories for the glory We live our lives in headlines action spotlights but behind the curtain I never feel so prided when I know you're around I'll drink a lost cause with some pills and alcohol Never looked so good on paper I'm the narrator I'm not writing it down I'll hold it in my poison and pray it doesn't come back up I'm not a poster boy Let me describe to you a story of a boy who swallowed pills Fascinated with sex and violence Too young to know what he figured out That this world is full of violence insist to run him down If he can learn to trust himself Only family and loving friends can ever hurt him I'll drink a lost cause with some pills and alcohol Never looked so good on paper I'm the narrator I'm not writing it down I'll hold it in my poison and pray it doesn't come back up I'm not a poster boy I never feel so prided when I know you're around For a moment I feel brilliant Like the coolest kids in town The world is full of violence that run him down If he learns to trust himself only family and loving friends can ever hurt him
