To gather my courage, reach again for that nail
My ring of brass lay rusting on the floor, is this all?
And never finding my Promised Land
'Cause it's not what I expected
Head down, nose to the grindstone
Preaching from the floor again
"Bartender, bring another glass of drink for their favorite son"
Life's been like dragging feet through sand
Standing neck deep in life
And waiting for Promised Land
I didn't notice, I just had to make it
What's the use in even holding on?
And the question, "Why am I?"
Friends I once held close fled in the fast lane
So many times I've tried and failed
"Bartender, bring another glass of drink for their favorite son"
The kiss of life placed on my brow
Kept slidin' to the ground and now it's buried six feet under
Here's to love, hate, promises and lies
I feel like I'm dying
Where did it all go wrong?
The same old sad song
Turned to face 'The Void', numb with the suffering
Preaching from the floor again
The same old sad song
Somewhere along the way
Where did it all go wrong?
Here's to love, here's to hate
Almost called it today
