when i'm alone i think too much
when i'm out with friends i often drink to many
as far as finding good reasons to strive
often i search hard but can not find any
when i'm at work i smoke too much
when in danger i take short sharp risks
i've fallen in love a few too many times
i've fallen hard for a lot of pathetic tricks
when i'm gambling its not for money
when sweet souls and hearts have greater stakes
i've woken in rage often at 3am
to loneliness and traumatic shakes
when i think of you i softly smile
the roof melts when i'm tripping out
i wonder why we're so far away
this simple distance brings lots of doubt
