lyrics

I go to bed with myself
Every night it’s the same
I have no one to blame
But if there were someone else
Then maybe the walls wouldn’t be so loud
I spent my last reality check
On some liquid peace of mind
On my left I see an angel with his head in the gutter
But on the right the devil is waiting in line

It seems like nothing can save me
From this monster I’m becoming.
What’s the use in fighting? It’s so inviting
To give in for one more night

I hate that my life is not catered
Don’t call me on my bullshit hater, I’ll see you later
Temper thinner than a razor
My mind is made up
I’m living this night the way i want no chaser
No, I don’t chase drinks I chase dreams
But only with a foggy head;
It’s my philosophy.
Philosophies, I sound like Aristotle.
But I’m looking for my dreams at the bottom of a bottle.

So get up and dance, shake off that funny feeling
Everybody’s got something that they’re dealing with
Grab a glass, there’s no substitution
Press your lips to mine and find the solution

It seems like you alone can save me
From this monster I’ve become
What’s the use in fighting? It’s so inviting
To give in for one more night

We numb our bodies but we still can't sleep,
We’re looking at the ground beneath our feet
There’s a place where all the demons go to meet
Well you can meet me at the Downbeat
Where we can be so lonely with the company that we keep
Company that we keep

I need to redefine myself
But I know I can’t be trusted
Seems like my luck has all run out
And my ambition has turned to dust

It relieves the pain
But what you get are demons on your back
It’s time to leave but the room is turning black

We numb our bodies but we still can't sleep,
We’re looking at the ground beneath our feet
There’s a place where all the demons go to meet
Well you can meet me at the Downbeat
Where we can be so lonely with the company that we keep
Company that we keep
