lyrics

I took to the bottle much too young
there was so much beauty to touch
I was old before my time
I really needed a crutch
I lived beyond my means
I just needed fire and wood
I always wanted to be clean
you know I never could
I took to the bottle much too young

You climbed the stairs
Shouted my name
I was never there
You could never stake your claim

I see the darkness moving
Moving through the past

I should have been a soldier
Dressed right and done my part
Not toiled in the abstract
Played the dirty game of art
Played the dirty game of art

It’s the last days of dancing
It’s the last days of dancing
It’s the last days of dancing
Before we say goodbye

I left the church
Where I went to pray
I made sure to smash the altar
Long before the wedding day

You can never see the cracks
I forgot your name in time
I finally grew weak
When I lost my winning streak
I finally grew weak
When I lost my winning streak

I see the darkness moving
Moving through the past
Before I was even born
Before I had a chance
