Up on Scorpion Hill, watchin' life passin' me by in the pale moonlight. And I sat there forever, three sheets to the wind. It's not helpin' my case - the state that I'm in - but it's not how they told you. My intentions were good. I was burstin' apart like the end of the ark, holding on to whatever I could.[break][break]

A square of light moves its way through the empty room, across the stained carpet like a ghost of myself in the afternoon haunting my basement apartment. I looked in the mirror hangin' behind my door. The glass was cracked, and the man staring back, he didn't look like me anymore. And if the world is gonna burn, everyone should get a turn to light it up. Down and out, I've been on the rocks. I've been havin' some pretty dark thoughts. I like them a lot.[break][break]

Time and time again, well, I've tried and failed to get my act together. And I'll admit: lately, things really went off the rails. I know that you deserve better. Then in the morning, as I was boarding the commuter train to work, the boss was calling. He said, "There's been cutbacks, and I'm sorry, you're the first." And if I can't support the two of us, how can I support a third? Down and out, I've been on the rocks. I've been having some pretty dark houghts, and I'm on the brink, falling into debt, falling into drink. I can drown those regrets; I don't have to think.[break][break]

Now I'm workin' the night shift, asleep at the wheel. I was burstin' apart like a flame from a spark, thinkin', Jesus, this can't be for real![break][break]

My sweat-soaked mattress, corner of the room; cigarettes and matches in the fading afternoon; and a picture of my kid. Yeah, he's smiling. It's the first day of school.[break][break]

She said, "I found the gun. It was buried beneath the piles of clothes in the room where your son sleeps." And I can't pretend to know how this will end.[break][break]
