Animal Choices

The scent of cigarettes is hanging off my breathe.

I've been partying too hard...

I've been partying too long to see

It's been 30 shortened days

With 30 longer nights.

I keep holding on for more,

I keep crawling back until they close the doors.

But all along we counted on moving on.

This night is harder than last

('Cause I'm not part of it).

This fight is not going to last

(But I'm still part of it).

It's time to let it go,

Try to stay dry while the fire burns out.

It's time to let it show,

And try to stay high when it brings me down.

The taste of last night weighing heavy on my lips.

Makes it harder just to speak...

Makes it hard to know the way we got here

When every detail is so blurry it turns black.

I start craving what I need,

I stopped worrying about the place it leads.

But all along we counted on moving on.

This night is harder than last

('Cause I'm not part of it).

This fight is not going to last

(But I'm still part of it).

It's time to let it go,

Try to stay dry while the fire burns out.

It's time to let it show,

And try to stay high when it brings me down.

I'd say I'm sorry,

If I knew how the story ends.

And after morning,

without a consequence.

The sight of wreckage when you finally see it straight.

I've been partying too hard...

I've been partying to long it seems.

It's been 30 shortened days

With 30 longer nights.

I kept holding on for more,

Now I'm finished what I started for.

This night is harder than last

('Cause I'm not part of it).

This fight is not going to last

(But I'm still part of it).

It's time to let it go,

Try to stay dry while the fire burns out.

It's time to let it show,

And try to stay high when it brings me down.
