Hopeless Again

Dear old friend

I'm feeling hopeless again

I'm giving in to my vices bottle in hand

Dear old friend

I think I'm slipping again

At the end of my rope

This pain

this pain in my head

I could use your sage old advice

Some words to calm me down

I ain't been sleeping much nights

With my girl sleeping all over town

Short list of my enemies

Since days I spent in the trench

But he ain't no man

he's a cheat

A coward staring down death

Dear old friend

In this letter I'll never send

I confess I'd kill them both where they stand

Dear old friend

You only get what you give

At the end of my rope

This pain

this pain in my head

I could use your sage old advice

Some words to calm me down

I ain't been sleeping much nights

With my girl sleeping all over town

Short list of my enemies

Since days I spent in the trench

But he ain't no man

he's a cheat

A coward staring down death

My old friend

I'm feeling hopeless again

On the front lines

I watched as good men died

I left a piece of me in foreign country side

And in my own home

I'm a stranger now

I was a father once

Lies built on losing ground

On the front lines

Boys buried where they lie

I left a piece of me in foreign country side

And in my own home

I'm a stranger now

I was a husband once

Lies built on losing ground

My old friend

my old friend

I'm feeling hopeless again
