Night Life (the Best Go Out)

from AS YOU WERE by HOURS

/

lyrics

I have done this before.
Counting bottles, ending up on the floor.
For an hour or so, I know where to go.
Where have I seen this before?
Changing channels like a satellite whore.
It’s not you. Or at least it’s not like me.

I won’t blame myself. I just need something else.
I won’t forget it. I just don’t get it.
Where did we all go?

When the best go out – I’ll stay at home.
You won’t believe it ‘til you hear it but I admit I was wrong.
And I remember, all over and over:
the black outs, the fade outs.
All entwined in my shadow.

Yeah we get the point.
Addicts have a habit of repeating themselves.
Insults and injuries are hung up for show.
And then we call it art (or fucking something like that).
If you’re the chosen one, then blasphemy is keeping you from fixing yourself.
Scrutinizing eyes
trying to digest your mind.

I won’t blame myself. I just need something.
I won’t forget it. I just don’t get it.
Where did we all go?

When the best go out – I’ll stay at home.
You won’t believe it ‘til you hear it but I admit I was wrong.
And I remember, all over and over:
the black outs, the fade outs.
All entwined in my shadow.


What would you do if things were different?
I swear this time I’ve fucking lost my head on this one.
And so it’s done.
And so it turns.
But I’m still here.
I’m still here.
I’m still.

You didn’t realize the damage done, until we’re all back in town.

You better let ‘em, oh, you better let ‘em.
