Me & My Friends Lyrics - Put Your Ghost To Rest - Kevin Devine

me and my friends 

we don't encourage discipline 

or really much of anything. 

we do our drugs 'till we're lit up. 

tell ourselves that this is love. 

but it's never added up 

and it will never be enough. 

it's the same corner booth, 

the same smith street bar, 

the same sour mouths, 

and the same empty arms. 

forever and ever our lives 

on a route. 

it's the same dollar draft, 

the same whiskey words, 

the same hanging heart, 

and the same old scorched earth. 

we're further and further 

away from the truth. 

i wanna stop it. 

i wanna stop it. 

i wanna stop it. 

but it's the only life i know how to live 

we make a mess of what matters 

give our good grace away 

we try to drink the clock backwards 

and pretend like nothing?s changed 

but you think i?m a liar, but you think i?m a fake 

and i think you?re a coward, but it?s not what i say 

i call you my brother, and you call me the same 

i wanna stop it. 

i wanna stop it. 

i wanna stop it. 

but it's the only life i know how to live 

let the steel (?) words spew out of the sides of my mouth 

go be my ghost and i?ll got be yours 

my brother, pour me one more 

yeah tonight brother pour me one 

yeah tonight i?ll just cut you one more 

yeah tonight i?ll just cut you one more
