How Low

How Low

Against Me!
(album: Searching For A Former Clarity)

Now I wake up around 4 or 5.
Eat, shower, and get dressed in about an hour´s time.
Take my vitamins, check my messages, and call around to some friends,
make plans for dinner and drinks sometime after 9.
Oh we´re definitely going to call it in early tonight.
I need to dry out and take some time to clear my mind.
But before you know it here I am again, fucking 2 o´clock in the morning,
standing in a bar, with a drink in hand.

How low can you go before you can´t turn around?

Now seriously, this is my last and final time.
Well I´m making some big, big changes in my life.
No, you won´t catch me down here again, waiting to score sweaty money palmed in my hand.
What are you cutting this with anyway?
´Cause I have got some really big plans.
And today´s the day I´m putting them into action.
But before you know it, here I am again, fucking 6 o´clock in the morning.
Rolled up dollar bill in my hand.

How low can you go before you can´t turn around?

I´m sick of feeling like I´m losing my mind.
Sick of doing the same things most nights after night.
Sick of self-loathing and self-absorbtion,
self-destructive narcissism.
I´m sick to death of being constantly fucking sick of.

I don´t know who I can trust.
Thought there was us, but no, there is no one.
