Lead, Follow, Fall

So he drank 'em up,
And thought if all else fails,
I'll still have my health,
But I'm not sure that he'll care.
For the time that he wastes,
Trying to keep something in.

You're drowning in your sorrows,
While your life flies by...

You're blaming all your failures,
On anyone that failed you.
You're writing songs you don't know how to end.
And oh, say can you see,
You're living a lie fulfilling your destiny.
You're writing songs you don't know how to end.

Drop to your knees boy,
And pray for common sense,
When you blame somebody else,
For what you couldn't do or your punishment.
From time to time black eyes pop up,
But don't pay them no mind.

You're drowning in your sorrows,
While your life flies by...

You're blaming all your failures,
On anyone that failed you.
You're writing songs you don't know how to end.
And oh, say can you see,
You're living a lie fulfilling your destiny.
You're writing songs...

Now I had a friend,
That I knew for a spell.
With piss in his veins on weekends,
He drank himself half to hell.
And he had a chance,
To change his pace.
But like a politician admitting his problems,
His priority is desperately trying to save face,
So he waits himself into a grave.

And oh, say can you see,
You're living a lie fulfilling your destiny.
You're writing songs...
And oh, say can you see (oh, say can you see)
You're living a lie fulfilling your destiny (fulfilling your destiny).
You're writing songs you don't know how to end.
