Winter's done, spring's begun
Summer's approaching fast
Another year without you
I just hope I'll last
I chose to cope with smoke
And whiskey in the coldest glass
On a mission to become
Comfortably numb
Run away from the pain
Let these emotions pass
I drip with self loathing and pretentiousness
I disguise it as apathy
The only ones who can sense it is
Those whom have felt tragedy
I lost my rock and all faith in god
Curse his name a lot, but if he exists he'll shake it off
I'm not afraid to die
I could leave and not say goodbye
But if heaven has none of earths sinful pleasures
I'd rather stay alive
Besides, I believe I know where you may reside
You're at the Lighthouse
Tell 'em to take me there
Here's the instructions, I hope I made it clear
Spread me in the sand
And know the pain is no more
We'll finally be reunited
When the tide pulls me from the shore.
