Drowning Out the Truth

Drowning Out The Truth You say you've made a friend in the bottle In the number one solution You're getting loose watching drop after drop Straighten all the confusion You want to keep the party rolling on Refusing to face the facts The way you live each day, day in and out The story can end so sad You've got to see the light Through the night; black night Don't waste your youth Drowning out the truth What you used to understand without question You now admit with hesitation As if in your mind you're not sure And the cause, only frustration I want to know that you can see through the haze But at times it seems as thick as mud You're searching for all the answers But you're losing hold of what was ...I know all about feeling good So many days I've felt that way But it's not an escape, just a delay in the game Because when it's over everything is the same.... You've got to see the light Through the night; black night Don't waste your youth Drowning out the truth Life, my friend, right now to you is such a joke But as a friend I can see your pain I know your eyes, no you can't disguise Bloodshot lines spell out your shame You've got to see the light Through the night; black night Don't waste your youth Drowning out the truth
