Lyrics:

So he drank 'em up
And thought if all else fails
I'll still have my health
But I'm not sure that he'll care
For the time that he wastes
Trying to keep something in

You're drowning in your sorrows
While your life flies by...

You're blaming all your failures
On anyone that failed you
You're writing songs you don't know how to end
And oh, say can you see
You're living a lie fulfilling your destiny
You're writing songs you don't know how to end

Drop to your knees boy
And pray for common sense
When you blame somebody else
For what you couldn't do or your punishment
From time to time black eyes pop up
But don't pay them no mind

You're drowning in your sorrows
While your life flies by...

You're blaming all your failures
On anyone that failed you
You're writing songs you don't know how to end
And oh, say can you see
You're living a lie fulfilling your destiny
You're writing songs...

Now I had a friend
That I knew for a spell
With piss in his veins on weekends
He drank himself half to hell
And he had a chance
To change his pace
But like a politician admitting his problems
His priority is desperately trying to save face
So he waits himself into a grave

And oh, say can you see
You're living a lie fulfilling your destiny
You're writing songs...
And oh, say can you see (oh, say can you see)
You're living a lie fulfilling your destiny (fulfilling your destiny)
You're writing songs you don't know how to end
