The elixir of life Chased down my throat With cheapened words For your understanding Chased down my throat Like some bottom shelf burbon I know I'll be recycling soon. Yet- Still I drink it Still I say it Knowing it's all coming back on me. (One way or another ) I suppose in life, this is how I learn But- Do we ever learn? (Don't think so my friend, just don't think so) So I'll sit here Drink my drink Say my words Saying That we'll never learn Cheers to never learning again Cheers to never hearing your thoughts again As I choke down these words Chase them with spirits Suffocate with the real hopes Filled with lies Of cheapened words Just to satisfy your ego.

Just to make you happy
The elixir of life Chased down my throat With cheapened words For your understanding Chased down my throat Like some bottom shelf burbon I know I'll be recycling soon. Yet- Still I drink it Still I say it Knowing it's all coming back on me. (One way or another ) I suppose in life, this is how I learn But- Do we ever learn? (Don't think so my friend, just don't think so) So I'll sit here Drink my drink Say my words Saying That we'll never learn Cheers to never learning again Cheers to never hearing your thoughts again As I choke down these words Chase them with spirits Suffocate with the real hopes Filled with lies Of cheapened words Just to satisfy your ego.
