Take a few of these, the sweeter memories There's a cloud in the sky and it's raining on you Still you try to keep dry but your troubles leak through And you've lost all you could, feeling sad Choose your reveries Keep the good, leave the bad Don't

There's a river in Evening ember glow And you're wishing you could see How far it flows Rolling on to an endless sea You'd be well on your way If you could only set sail. But dreams can drift away And sails can fill with doubt

My love, my love, my love, my drug, oh Some days like I'm barely breathing Then after we were high and the love dope died, it was you The pill I keep taking The nightmare I'm waking There's nothing, no nothing, nothing but you My perfect rock bottom My
