Quitting

Every mornin' that I wake
I am thankful for the breath I take
To meet the day
And it's only 8:30
And I'm feelin' that I lost my way
Same thing as yesterday
Take a cup of black coffee
Maybe two of them I'll need to be
In fair condition
Every day may seem the same
But every memory is time already passed

Well you think you've seen it all
Been through the gates of hell
But you ain't been anywhere but here
I know that this is hard sometimes
This life I'm always fallin' asleep
And missin' everything
Well the next thing that you know
Well you're staring at somebody else
Not at all familiar
But that same crooked mirror
Every time I'm walkin' down the street
Askin' Lord don't take
Don't take me away

Worn out, we are all getting old
Like these buildings that surround
Our inner city lights
Broken parts and rusting through
Just like the cars we drive into the ground
Ten years ain't that bad
Well there's nothin' like a smokin' cigarette
To get you through the stress
And keep your brokenness
Every day may seem the same
But every memory is time already passed

Well you think you've seen it all
Been through the gates of hell
But you ain't been anywhere but here
Well I know that this is hard sometimes
This life I'm always fallin' asleep
And missin' everything
Well the next thing that you know
Well you're staring at somebody else
Not at all familiar
But that same crooked mirror
Every time I'm walkin' down the street
Askin' Lord don't take
Don't take me away

I'm not quite ready
To give up on the things I once thought
Were the only things I need
But the things that I should leave behind
A lot like quitting cigarettes
And this life we're living
It's all temporary
Let's all go and have a drink
And watch it all melt away
Watch it all melt away
Watch it all melt away
There's nothin' but the sound of this spinnin' room
