lyrics

A quiet time, a quiet place to recollect in peace
Reflect on what remains of life
But what fades will keep me up all night

So I’ll drink a bottle of rye and stare up at the sky
Every good idea not tried left me with a sigh
So I’ll drink a bottle of rye and sit here wondering why
Every chance that slipped on by fled back to the sky

So this is how it feels to finally open up my eyes
Been starting over every few years or so,
I never thought I’d get to be so tired...

So I’ll drink a bottle of rye completely unsurprised that
Everyone that’s passed me by was reaching for the sky
So I’ll drink a bottle of rye and watch from the sidelines
As every dream I had that died leaves me for the sky

From this cliff-face ever so high, I can see around for miles
With a heart chock full of lies, I stare up at the sky
So I’ll drink this bottle of rye and step into the night
What goes up comes down in time, but my troubles I leave to the sky
