Curtain

Burning like an open nerve I'm running like a dog On linoleum I don't know how come But the effect of you on me is too much Bro, it's like you speak in code I'm only three months sober Swear I'm so close To buying a bottle of SoCo A pack of smokes and saying fuck it all 'Cause I tried to forgive you For the shit you put me through But it's just the hardest thing to do So I guess it's goodbye, brother Goodbye, rock and roll Guess it's goodbye to the only life I know It's a shame you couldn't just say you were hurting I will see you on the other side of the curtain Turning like a broken wheel My own Achilles heel Tell me, how does it feel To have a normal day Despite all my rage, I'm just a rat in a cage Thoughts, they come and crowd my mind And they're never kind It happens all the time, it happens all the time I'm running out of time, I'm running out of time 'Cause I tried to forgive you For the shit you put me through But it's just the hardest thing to do So I guess it's goodbye, brother Goodbye, rock and roll Guess it's goodbye to the only life I know It's a shame you couldn't just say you were hurting I will see you on the other side of the curtain And now the spotlight shines upon you all alone Cuts a circle 'round your velvet throne You take in the applause and give a shallow bow I'm watching in the rafters now And you're striking that pose as they're throwing the roses Lifting up your arms like the statue of Moses One door opens, another one closes I'm watching in the rafters now So I guess it's goodbye, brother Goodbye, rock and roll Guess it's goodbye to the only life I know Yeah, it's a shame you couldn't just say you were hurting I will see you on the other side of the curtain Goodbye, brother Goodbye, rock and roll Goodbye to the only life I know Yeah, it's a shame you couldn't just say you were hurting Guess I'll see you on the other side of the curtain
