Like Broken Glass

It’ll move like the hands on a clock: crippled with regret
With bleeding knuckles, and calloused skin
Still gripping tight to every second
Never letting me forget
This cuts just like broken glass
Anxiety drowns us
So many sleepless nights;
We don’t dream much any more
I’ve seen the dreams of my father slip away
I’ve seen the scorn in my mother’s eyes
Don’t we all love the way it feels when it makes us lose control?
When alcohol consumes the mind and sorrow. (I can’t put it down)
Well, here I go again
I’ll re-live these childhood memories as a constant let down
Just a fucking burden
Don’t leave me with the pain you thought
A child could replace
We all carry things in our hearts we won’t bear
Won’t let it weigh us down
Don’t we all love the way it feels when it makes us lose control?
When alcohol consumes the mind and sorrow. (I can’t put it down)
Sometimes we have such heavy hearts
Sometimes they weigh us down
Will we be more than remains of a wasted life? (I can’t see myself)
We’ll waste our lives
