he keeps kicking and screaming
but the words don't come out
everyone is leaving
but he never had a doubt

call the medicine man
tell him you need a dose
he'll understand
so you keep him close

rocking back and forth
you think it all over
knowing not of his worth
he doesn't stay sober

my memory isn't as clear as it used to be
but everything's okay when you're near me
the daily reminders of what could have been
only outweighed by the fact i could not give in

laying battered and broken
he sleeps on the floor
of all the words that were spoken
she's used them before

nothing but junk running through my veins
and for a minute everything is clear as day
gives a feeling i can't begin to explain
even if you're not here to stay

you cant escape what you create
but you can sure as hell drink it away
you can't kill off what you most hate
so let's forget it for now, okay?

my memory isn't as clear as it used to be
but everything's okay when you're near me
the daily reminders of what could have been
