The Illusion of Progress

Every shadow just behind me,
Shrouding every step I make,
Breaking every promise empty,
Pointing every finger at me
Waiting like a stalking butler
Who upon the finger rests
Murder now the path has lost me
Just because the sun has set
Judas was a fucking whistler
Nothing but the past is done
Judas mother fucking whistler
Nothing but the past is done

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
Why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over

I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
I will find the center in you
I will chew it up and leave,
I will work to elevate you
Just enough to bring you down

Mother Mary was a whisper
Nothing but the past is done
Mother was a fucking whistler
Nothing but the past is done

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
Why can't we drink forever?
I just want to start this over this time

I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
I will find the center in you
I will chew it up and leave,

Trust me, Trust me, Trust me, Trust me, Trust me

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over, and
Why can't we drink forever?
I just want to start this over this time

I want what I want
I want what I want
I want what I want
I want what I want
