I tell myself that this is it,
when the day is done.
When I wake I'll start anew,
but tomorrow never comes.
Tomorrow becomes today
more quickly than the last,
more quickly than the bottles empty
more weeks and months go past.
I buy the drink, the drink buys me
another day to run.
The demons waiting patiently
for when the day is done.
Tomorrow becomes today;
I waste it like before,
I waste it getting wasted,
but I'm wasting so much more
My friends, my health, my family
and those I cherish most;
watch the boy they used to love,
becoming just a ghost.
Tomorrow becomes today,
I may have missed it all,
I may have missed the last chance
just to never miss last call
I tell myself that this is it
when the day is done,
but the circle remains unbroken
and tomorrow never comes.
