Blackout - Senses Fail

I just drove under the Lincoln sign

To where New Jersey meets the New York line

And through the tunnel for the last time

With everything crumbling behind

I stood still until I felt the shakes

Of two bodies that were parting ways

I didn’t want to be the one to say

I know this hurts but it’s time to break

In two pieces, the fault line is not secure

A boat or bridge is needed to get back to her

I feel like I am paralyzed

When I look at the extra space left in my bed

And think about all the things we did

At least I’m feeling more alive

But I still have some old weight that I’ve got to shed

Before I find happiness

I make mountains out of my worries

And I plant pain instead of sturdy trees

I have got to wash these old sheets

So I can fall asleep

There are times, there are times I reach for the phone

To tell you that there might still be some hope

Holding on to the slack of rope

But that’s the whiskey talking, so

I hope that you can find some peace in life

Can you survive without me?

'Cause I thought I’d be fine.

Now I am slurring every single line.

I feel like I am paralyzed

When I look at the extra space left in my bed

And think about all the things we did

At least I’m feeling more alive

But I still have some old weight that I’ve got to shed

I’ve got to move on before I can find happiness

This isn’t fair, nobody taught me (how to let go)

«Just be here now"and you’ll be set free from sorrow?

But at this time, I don’t see clearly (How will I know?)

What is the point?

What is the meaning?

Now I’m struggling, I black out so I can’t dream

But I still see you sneaking through my weary head

I suffer from a drought of medicine to dull self-doubt

I just wanna drown you out with southern poison

If I had a drink for every Goddamn time I think

About your pale skin dressed in pink

Then at least I could sleep

If I had a shot for every Goddamn time I thought

About your face and what I lost

At least I’d get some sleep

Sleep, sleep, at least I’d get some sleep

Sleep, sleep, then at least I’d get some sleep:
