Me and my friends
We don't encourage discipline
Or really much of anything
We do our drugs 'til we're lit up
Tell ourselves that this is love
But it's never added up
And it will never be enough

It's the same corner booth
The same Smith street bar
The same sour mouths
And the same empty arms
Forever and ever our lives
On a loop

It's the same dollar draft
The same whiskey words
The same hanging heart
And the same old scorched earth
We're further and further
Away from the truth

[Chorus]
I wanna stop it
I wanna stop it
I wanna stop it
But it's the only life I know how to live
We make a mess of what matters
Give our good grace away
We try to drink the clock backwards
And pretend like nothing's changed

But you think I'm a liar, and you think I'm a fake
And I think you're a coward, but it's not what I say
I call you my brother, and you call me the same

I wanna stop it
I wanna stop it
I wanna stop it
But it's the only life I know how to live

I wanna stop it
I wanna stop it
I wanna stop it...

Let the smear words spill out of the sides of our mouth;
Go be my ghost and I'll go be yours
But tonight brother, pour me one more
Oh tonight brother pour me one more
Yeah tonight I'll just cut you one more
Yeah tonight I'll just cut you one more
One more...
