Sober Songtext

von Staind

Every shadow just behind me
Shrouding every step I make
Making every promise empty
Pointing every finger at me
Waiting like a stalking butler
Who upon the finger rests
Murder now the patterns must we
Just because the son has set

Jesus won't you fucking whistle?
Nothing but the past is done
Jesus won't you fucking whistle?
Nothing but the past is done

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
Why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over

I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
I will find a center in you
I will chew it up and leave
I will work to elevate you
Just enough to bring you down

Mother Mary was a whisper
Nothing but the past is done
Mother was a fucking whistler
Nothing but the past is done

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
Why can't we drink forever?
I just want to start this over, this time

I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
I will find a center in you
I will chew it up and leave
Trust me (5x)

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over and
Why can't we drink forever?
I just want to start this over, this time
I want what I want (2x)
