Sober (Live at the Hiro Ballroom)

There's a shadow just behind me
Shrouding every breath I take
Taking every promise empty
Pointing every finger at me

Waiting like a stalking butler
Who upon the finger rests
Murder now the pattern's must we
Just because the son has come

Jesus, mustn't fucking whistle
Nothing but the past endured
Jesus, mustn't fucking whistle
Nothing but the past endured

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
And why can't we drink forever?
I just want to start this over

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

Mother Mary mustn't fucking whisper
Nothing but the past endured
Mother mustn't fucking whisper
Nothing but the past endured

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
And why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over this time

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

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
And why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over this time

I want, what I want
I want, what I want
I want, what I want
I want, what I want
