Drinking Yourself Into The Future

(album: The Dangers Of Standing Still - 2011)

I look to good to be this old
With lubricated lips repeating stories told
And if you could, could you save me
From the consequence that pains me
Before we descend again

In the moonlight glow
Forget the past and just let it go
In the moonlight glow
Forget the years and the tears that flowed
Until what's left is you all alone
In the moonlight glow

The silence comes at me in waves
I see a raised fist
The ringing lasts for days
And if you could, could you save me
From the consequence that pains me
Before we descend again
I'll never go back

In the moonlight glow
Forget the past and just let it go
In the moonlight glow
Forget the years and the tears that flowed
Until what's left is you all alone
In the moonlight glow

We're all patriots
We're all neighbors in the end
Lost all pretension
When all that's left was bought and spent
We're all citizens, faithful to the end
Drink our livers dry like good Americans
And if I said there was a time
I loved the smoke and half-assed lies
Would you admit the words you said to me went on and on

In the moonlight glow
Forget the past and just let it go
In the moonlight glow
Forget the years and the tears that flowed
Until what's left is you all alone
In the moonlight glow
