Lyrics
The moonlight streams in through my window
It plays like water on the floor
If I could fill my hands and drink it
Would it quench my thirst for more
A cigarette, a glass of whiskey
I will drink until I drown
It keeps me warm, oh, it will fill me
Until I have to put it down
I used to think that I was strong
But I'm too tired to keep pretending
You can't get water from a stone
But it will wear you down
How many times will I be broken
Before the scars begin to fade
I'll erase you from my memory
I think I've finally found a way
Apply some local anesthetic
The faint light slowly fades away
And maybe when it finally kills me
They'll call this my destructive phase
Another step upon that road
The lessons that I keep repeating
You can't get water from a stone
But it will weigh you down
How many times will I be broken
Before the scars begin to fade
I'll erase you from my memory
I think I've finally found a way
