My words come back to me As I watch you walk away So cue up a laugh track and playback my previous take (Fuckin' sexy Tony) A quick glance around the room reveals to me a truth Everyone is temporary and moving on from you Come back to my place tomorrow We'll grab a case and a bottle No brakes, it's all fucking throttle Nothing to do but move on I can't fight it But I can't accept it and just move on I can't fight it No, I can't fight it New blood, old veins Fresh kill, stale pain Same old sickness, but a brand new strain Like new wine in old bottles Fresh flesh on fossils It's alive (It's a lie) It's the same damn thing It's commonplace, but still quite strange How different pieces are arranged Create a hull that looks the same But everything has changed Fragments of yesteryear remain despite decay While violent weather washed other parts away (Fuckin' wash it away) A fresh bit of lumber Perfect size to fill the gape (What the fuck?) Measured and cut down And hammered into place Although it's plain as day What has remained has changed, too I know you hear it in my voice Come back to my place tomorrow New faces, same fucking bottle No brakes it's only the throttle Nothing left to do but move on I can't fight it Maybe I'm holding on too long I can't let go Cause I'm not done I'm not done So give me that fucking beat, you asshole Make it fast and desperate We're not here without you I don't care if they accept it Play that fuckin' riff, you dickhead I wanna hear it sing It's alive (It's a lie) It's the same damn thing We're swimming with the tide On a course diagonal Swim against the tide and die Bathe in the warmth and light Of the final setting Sun The day is long, but finally done I miss my friends I miss the crew I miss the old days I'll take them with my where I go On every stage It's alive (It's a lie) It's the same damn thing
