lyrics

I've held hands with sobriety and it's left me falling.
I'm living for the weekend and it's fucking depressing.

This is the last goddamn night, I swear it this time,
That I'll struggle under those low campus lights,
Multiplying mistakes overturned.

Let's stop this repeating
Cliche binge-drinking weekend.
It's not doing for my self-esteem
What it did way back when I was seventeen.
Let's start this again.

I miss these chords I used to live by.
I miss my friends, feeling like shit the next morning.

It's just swimming under water and holding your breath.
We'll be destroyed, but never defeated.
Hold on to what we got left.

I've lived my life in the lion's mouth,
Without a thought of getting out.
I've lived my life in the lion's mouth,
Let's get out.

Once again I find myself in the middle of four conversations,
None involving me.
Everyone is trying to get laid.
Everyone is the goddamn same.
But I catch a hit of confidence from this last stiff vodka drink.
I won't sink, sink to the bottom of this drink,
I won't sink, sink to the bottom.
