Obsolete Songtext
von backandtotheleft

Self-induced coma
As hazy memories of the night before
Only one more drink
As many several more
Still life paints the scene
Of alcohol and nicotine
The greatest friends there′s ever been
Life's the sharpest guillotine

One truth, one way
You hurt every day
Seems sad, so clear
A change is needed here


So it′s time to face the fear
Of dealing with myself
And all these foolish games
That keep life incomplete
But as you walk on by
You never say goodbye
It leaves the bitter taste
Of feeling obsolete

Recovery
Responsibilities seem easier in dreams
The path chosen to take
Makes you weak in the knees
Resist the private hell
Of this habit's cruel carousel
That keeps you spinning round and round
Where it stops no one can tell

So it's time to face the fear
Of dealing with myself
And all these foolish games
That keep life incomplete
But as you walk on by
You never say goodbye
It leaves the bitter taste
Of feeling obsolete


All praise
All the tricks
By charlatans and heretics
That drive to drag you to the past
Where demons still exist
Self-medicate the catatonic state
From lifting one more glass
Clarity may never help the sickness pass

One truth, one way
You hurt every day
Seems sad, so clear
A change is needed here

So it′s time to face the fear
Of dealing with myself
And all these foolish games
That keep life incomplete
But as you walk on by
You never say goodbye
It leaves the bitter taste
Of feeling obsolete
