Nero

(album: The Fire - 2010)

I spend my life driving without headlights
I'm running from who I am
I've got my back layed across the iron tracks
Waiting for life to pass

I hit the floor so hard
'Cause I've been getting all my therapy at the bar
And this the last time I'll try

When all the drinks are gone
And it's just me and the odyssey of the dawn
My shadow shows someone
(Who's afraid of the morning sun)

Just when I thought that it couldn't get much worse
I turned around and I saw you there tonight
So when will I get a break from life?
It's driving me to drink tonight

You know that you were my worst addiction
Now you're here after two years of being clean
So when will I learn to break routine
And forget you like a dream

I'm gonna say this sober so I have no excuse
I need you in my life but
My neck needs a noose

Just when I thought that it couldn't get much worse
I turned around and I saw you there tonight
So when will I get a break from life?
It's driving me to drink tonight

You know that you were my worst addiction
Now you're here after two years of being clean
So when will I learn to break routine
And forget you like a dream

I set the fire
As I play my violin

I spend my life driving without headlights
I'm running from myself

Just when I thought that it couldn't get much worse
I turned around and I saw you there tonight
So when will I get a break from life?
It's driving me to drink tonight

You know that you were my worst addiction
Now you're here after two years of being clean
So when will I learn to break routine
And forget you like a dream

You know that you were my worst addiction
Now you're here after two years of being clean
So when will I learn to break routine
And forget you like a dream
