Quietly I let it all sink in
I just don't know where to begin
That thing that everybody knew but never wanted to be true
Some of them are crying hand in hand
As if that somehow helps them understand
Some of them are screaming at the sky
They know it's over but they don't know why
To hell with everyone I thought I knew
They don't know who they're talking to
I'll make those motherfuckers pay for taking everything away
I fall down sobbing on the floor
Drain the bottle
Go back out for more
I'm staring right into the sun
Reaching out for someone
Anyone
I don't want to die alone
I wake up rested and at ease
Free of all responsibilities
I'm fifteen footsteps from the grave
So you're goddamn right I aim to misbehave
Everybody's up on their feet
The party's spilling out into the street
I see you on the corner and I smile
Let's lick each other's cuts for a while
So we don't have to die alone
Everything's a sweaty smoky haze
We haven't gotten out of bed for days
All things pass away and it's our turn to step outside and watch the world burn
This isn't how I thought that I would die
Underneath the Oklahoma sky
I take you by the arm and pull you near and wait for it all to disappear
And we're still standing here alone
Everybody dies alone
