[Verse 1]

There's a shadow just behind me

Shrouding every step I take

Making every promise empty

Pointing every finger at me

Waiting like a stalking butler

Who upon the finger rests

Murder now the pattern, must we

Just because the son has come


[Pre-Chorus]

Jesus, won't you fucking whistle

Something but the past and done?

Jesus, won't you fucking whistle

Something but the past and done?


[Chorus]

Why can't we not be sober?

I just want to sleep forеver

Why can't we start this over?

Why can't wе start things over?


[Verse 2]

I am just a worthless liar

I am just an imbecile

I will only complicate you

Trust in me and fall as well

I will find a center in you

I will chew it up and leave

I will work to elevate you

Just enough to bring you down


[Pre-Chorus]

Mother Mary, won't you whisper

Something but the past and done?

Mother Mary, won't you whisper

Something but the past and done?


[Chorus]

Why can't we not be sober?

I just want to sleep forever

Why can't we start this over?

I just want to start things over


[Bridge]

I am just a worthless liar

I am just an imbecile

I will only complicate you

Trust in me and fall as well

I will find a center in you

I will chew it up and leave

Trust me, trust me, trust me, trust me, trust me


[Chorus]

Why can't we not be sober?

I just want to sleep forever

Why can't we start this over?

I just want to start things over


[Outro]

I want what I want

I want what I want

I want what I want

I want what I want
