Lyrics
----
Well sometimes I can't sleep
Without a poisoned dream
Liquid lullabies just a singing me to sleep

I laid down and I watched the time
It's much past 12
I got too much on my mind

I've kicked some habits, lord they've kicked back
through the gaps of time that's in my mind
It's been hard to keep track

There's something in my dreams
That makes a monster I can't fight
Sometimes with that drink
Be swinging fists all night

'Cuz I cant stop
This train wont slow down
Like a broken radio
Playing god awful sounds

That ship is sinking low
Hands around my throat
Pour another one from the bottle
Just to keep me afloat

Now I looked up to my daddy
He lived in a shot glass
He'd stumble a howlin'
But he could still kick your ass

Said son you got to learn
I'm the worst of role models
Take from me and
Don't go chasin' them old bottles

He's a better man now
I can't say the same
Still love to be like him
But here I sit in shame

So I'll lay here and sweat this
Liquor off my breath before I
Come stumblin' back to you
Just to swear I'm trying my best

'Cuz I cant stop
This train wont slow down
Like a broken radio
Playing god awful sounds

That ship is sinking low
hands around my throat
Pour another one from the bottle
Just to keep me afloat
