lyrics

I'm so lost.
Who's talking to me? The man or the bottle?
Stop this fragile mess.
Debauchery with your hands on the throttle.
I don't know.
Where do we go with your faults?

What did I do wrong?
Where did you go now?
(Did you run, did you run, run away from me?)
Whom do I seek,
without you around?
(Did you run, did you run, run away from me?)
How can I deal with all the harsh things you have said?
It's hard to deal with all these,
Bad memories in my head.

Passive aggression, no good intentions.
Used your fists to solve it all.
We're bound to see you rise,
We're bound to see you fall.
Is this what it means to be a man?
Which road to take, what is your plan?
The spiked drink holds all the answers.

What did I do wrong?
Where did you go now?
(Did you run, did you run, run away from me?)
Whom do I seek,
without you around?
(Did you run, did you run, run away from me?)
How can I deal with all the harsh things you have said?
It's hard to deal with all these,
Bad memories in my head.

You're a ghost!
Lost, wandering off alone.
You must cope!
Toss away the troubling times.
