Verse 1

I'm walking down in the basement

I'm leaning on the washing machine

I'm reaching back through a

hole in the wall's insulation

I'm pulling out a

bottle of vodka

Replacing that with a

pint of Jim Bean

I'm lying down on the

floor until I feel better

Interlude

Verse 2

It's morning and I

pour myself coffee

I drink it til the

kitchen stops shaking

I'm backing out of

the driveway

And into creation

And the loving spirit

that follows me

Watching helplessly

will always forgive me

Chorus 1

Oh I want to die alone

With my sympathy beside me

I want to bring down all

those demons who drank with me

Feasting bleed through me

On my desperation

Verse 3

I hide all the bottles in places

They find and confront me

with pain in their eyes

And I promise that I'll

make some changes

But reaching back it

occurs to me

There will always be some

kind of crisis for me

Chorus 2

Oh I want to die alone

With my sympathy beside me

I want to bring back all

those moments they

stole from me

In my reverie

Darkening days end

Guitar solo

Chorus 3

Oh I want to die alone

With my memories inside me

I want to live that life

When I could say

people had faith in me

I still see that

guy in my memory

Chorus 4

Oh I want to die alone

With my sympathy beside me

I want to bring down

all those people

who drank with me

Watching happily

My humiliation
