Lyrics
They tell me my condition is incurable
Acknowledging a perceived incurable condition.
They tell me that I need to take these drugs to numb the pain
Being advised to use drugs for pain relief.
It's days like this I just wish I could rewrite my history
Expressing a desire to change one's past.
But I must live with my mistakes
Acceptance of living with past mistakes.
It's times like this I wish my days away
Wishing away difficult times.
Say tell me is it me Lord am I next to go?
Questioning fate and mortality.
That clock on the wall is moving extra slow
Perception of time moving slowly during difficult moments.
My time is fleeting no misleading me I stand alone
Awareness of limited time, standing alone.
You see we used to be the drive-in me is now so minimal
Reflecting on a diminished inner drive.
I reminisce of when I used to be respectable
Nostalgia for a time when respectability was present.
I wake up with regrets from nights before, feel so pathetic as I
Waking up with remorse from past actions.
Twist a bottle cap and hope these swallows save me from these hallows
Seeking solace in substances to cope.
Take me down a path and hope my shadow follows
Desiring guidance in life's journey.
I'm alone with my thoughts and yes
Isolation with introspective thoughts.
Most nights I'm so depressed
Admitting to frequent emotional distress.
Cheers, here's to fear my fate I know I can't escape the rest
Toasting to fear, accepting an inevitable fate.
Free falling as I try to put this cape to test
Feeling a sense of free fall, testing one's capabilities.
Open up my shirt to find there's no "S" on chest
Symbolic realization of lacking superhuman abilities.
Why confess when I'm the only one who made this mess
Owning responsibility for personal mistakes.
Forgive as I exit stage left well dressed
Seeking forgiveness and departing gracefully.
On a bed of white linen per request
Imagery of a serene departure, possibly referencing death.
This is what goes on inside I won't survive another quest
Expressing internal struggles and a sense of impending doom.
They tell me that
Reiteration of an incurable condition.
They tell me my condition is incurable
Repetition emphasizing the gravity of the condition.
They tell me that I need to take these drugs to numb the pain
Reiteration of the advice to use drugs for pain management.
It's days like this I just wish I could rewrite my history
Repetition of the desire to rewrite personal history.
But I must live with my mistakes
Reaffirmation of accepting and living with past mistakes.
They tell me my condition is incurable
Reiteration of the incurable condition.
They tell me that I need to take these drugs to numb the pain
Repetition of the advice to use drugs for pain relief.
It's days like this I just wish I could rewrite my history
Repetition of the desire to change one's history.
But I must live with my mistakes
Final acknowledgment of living with past mistakes.
