  I couldn't live past tonight
without another beer in my hand that
told you how much I hurt
from having to keep on living and
without a reason to live except from
the drinking that made it
a little bit easier to cope;
I almost caught a smile
in my hand's once again.

  I had a dream once
such a long time ago
before the Alcohol touched my lips
and before I became who I am today;
I know I use to pray for
even the stars to collide
with hands shaking like never before;
as now I wait here; I wait here
to be heard by the echoes that
lost their voices even for me.

  behind my eyes that closed off
this world that you loved so much
was the tear drops that never failed
me on a lonely night like tonight;
all I could do was imagine what the
memories would bring back to me
as everything came crashing down
I swear I heard nothing but empty tears
crying yet again.

  I've been dreaming like never before
and now I wander into shifting reflections
wandering down that traveling road
that only ended up in nothing but
dirt pressed upon its skin;
I felt the air pressing on my lips
as this time around it was
extremely hard to breathe
I thought that it would be nice
for once that my hand's would quit wishing
where miracles would never come true.
