lyrics

There comes an end to the greatest things
Or whatever the cliche is
They never meant a single thing to me
I have a knack for smashing mirrors
Just to tamper with the laws of fate
Where there’s a bull, there’s bound to be
The clattering of hooves to fill the streets

Without further adieu ,
I present to you half of what I ever could produce
When you think think you’re down, you’ve got one more
round in you; But, in regards to myself….

This is my year in bottles,
My year of bottom-shelf decline
My body’s in a state of prohibition
And it’s no one’s fault but mine

I choose to stay anonymous to the 12 steps and all the bullshit
between the padded walls inside my head
At 10,000 feet, I couldn’t ask for a single thing
more than another drink and turn the plane around 180 degrees

Without further adieu ,
I present to you half of what I ever could produce
When you think think you’re down, you’ve got one more
round in you; But, in regards to myself….

This is my year in bottles,
My year of bottom-shelf decline
My body’s in a state of prohibition
And it’s no one’s fault but mine

You are a bull, so full of rage
Give em’ the horns and stomp away
No matador will remain safe
