Lyrics

Hey friend you're drinking sorrow by the boatloads
Hey friend no one's funneling the lies
Hey friend by your own hand you are wasted
Hey friend by your own hand you will die

Wormwood and bitterness
Chalice of death
Hanging on to coat tails
While dangling in a pit
When will you repent?

Hey friend hopeless thoughts will get you no place
Hey friend you think you've lost your card to the human race
Hey friend your bag is empty, you've got no tricks
Hey friend no magic key to get you fixed

Hey friend blame the world and circumstance
Hey friend why don't you grow up
Hey friend live your life in yesterday
Hey friend no hope for what's to come
Sitting in this dingy hole, your choice and will to die
Sympathetic evil roots from apathetic minds
All our poisoned thoughts will drown in caustic cups of death
The tears and blood of jesus christ
Can fill our cups instead

Agonizing everyday
Never bother looking up
Live your life in yesterday
No hope for what's to come

I can't save you
I can't free you
But I can be your friend
Everyman must help himself
And not keep giving in
Jehovah is the only one
To save you from demise
Jesus is the only one
To quench you with true life

Pain
Pride
Cocktails of pity
Won't get you by

Hey friend drinking so much sorrow
Hey friend why don't you put down that glass
Hey friend filled with so much pity
Hey friend get out of wormwood lounge
