Track #10 off of Illusions for the Blind

lyrics

Over such a short time span
Here lies the tired man
His hangovers and heartbreaks
He can’t erase any more mistakes

Ashes fall in empty cups
Three more shots ‘til he erupts
Dishes pile and no one calls
And all the memories rust on his walls

He’s giving up and no longer fights
Lord knows if he'll make it through the night
Another bottle another fright
Dying as fast as the speed of light

And they say

His health and mind start to decay
He says he'll get better one of these days
Well they start to pass him by
It’s not even a problem yet
Six more drinks and some cigarettes
Every day and every time

He’s giving up and no longer fights
Lord knows if he'll make it through the night
Another bottle another fright
Dying as fast as the speed of light

And the memories rush right back to him
But time flows like a forgotten whim
The past he longs for is all that's left for him to keep
Oh the tired man must go to sleep
The tired man must go to sleep

He’s giving up and no longer fights
Lord knows if he'll make it through tonight
Another bottle a final fright
Dying as fast as the speed, oh the speed of light
