I found myself at the river again
I thought I'd lost my way
The monkey on my back became my best friend
Staring down the barrel of a bottle again

Though I want to
Though I try

I'm just looking for some peace of mind
Running on empty bottles of rum and sweet red wine
Burned every bridge I built, made my friends a little harder to find
Searching for something to save a life that's passed me by

I'm looking for anything to break the ties that bind
The nightmares seem to never end
The days stretch a little bit longer inside my mind
And the pain gets a little bit harder to hide

Though I want to
Though I try

I'm just looking for some peace of mind
Running on empty bottles of rum and sweet red wine
Burned every bridge I built, made my friends a little harder to find
Searching for something to save a life that's passed me by

I'm just looking for some peace of mind
Running on empty bottles of rum and sweet red wine
Burned every bridge I built, made my friends a little harder to find
Searching for something new that can save me
Save me from myself

I'm just looking for some peace of mind
Running on empty bottles of rum and sweet red wine
Burned every bridge I built, made my friends a little harder to find
Searching for something to save a life that's passed me by
