There's a shadow just behind me
Shrouding every step I take
Making every promise empty
Pointing every finger at me
Waiting like a stalking butler

Jesus won't you 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

Trust in me and fall as well
I will find a center in you
I will chew it up and leave
I will work to elevate you
Just enough to bring you down
Mother Mary won't you whisper
Something but what's past and done
Mother Mary won't you whisper
Something but what's 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 a center in you
I will chew it up and leave
Trust me, Trust me, Trust me, Trust me, Trust me
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 want
I want what I want
I want what I want
I want what I want
I want what I want
