lyrics

I lift the bottle to the ceiling,
and black out all the feelings,
the ghosts of mistakes changing faces and all the shit I can't deal with.
I'm not hearing a single word you say tonight,
instead I'll end up getting drunk and in a fight.
Find a substance and grab a pretty girl I like I'm here to make a mess of my obsessive over active mind.

While trying to conquer the fact,
My memory won't retain all these moments while my eyes are blurry.
I never want to hold back,
Never want to be tamed or told to slow down when my words start slurring.
They keep saying get back,
to reality son before you fall down and your world stops turning,
I'll never live like that,
I'm not afraid to have fun.
I'll find my comfort in the thought only the good die young.

I thought I made it clear that all I have for you,
(is an I don't care and a big fuck you).
Cause I can't quite find my point of view,
(so what's the point of you?)
You've got a lack valid point to prove.

(And I can't seem to find my point of view,
So what's the point of you?
You've got no point to prove.)

You'll never fucking know the feeling,
Of forgetting all your reason.
The changing faces changing shapes now and everybody's cashing in.
I'm not hearing a single word you say tonight,
instead I'm gonna live it up in city lights.
Grab my crew,
(HEY!)
Tell'em that we're getting down we're here to make a mess of this depressive self destructive town.

While trying to conquer the fact,
My memory won't retain all these moments while my eyes are blurry.
I never want to hold back,
Never want to be tamed or told to slow down when my words start slurring.
They keep saying get back,
to reality son before you fall down and your world stops turning,
I never listened to that!
I'm not afraid to have fun!
WE'D RATHER DIE ALIVE AND YOUNG THAN LIVE LIKE MISERABLE FUCKS!

I thought I made it clear that all I have for you,
(is an I don't care and a big fuck you).
Cause I can't even find my own point of view,
(so what's the point of you?)
You've got a lack point to prove.

(And I can't seem to find my point of view,
So what's the point of you?
You've got no point to prove.)

Struggling to see straight or find my own point of view,
And I'm the classiest of views, you've got no valid point to prove.
Struggling to see straight and I've got puke on my shoes.
I've got the glassiest of views and ill probably be dead soon.
