look around what you see is what you get in this life
4am city slumber city sighs (hear the cries)
and look around what i see is what i got
wasted years wasted money wasted mind (is this mine)

and i look around
and i see the sight
and i hear your voice
and you tell me it's alright

earned it all building castles in the sand
blew it all with problems that i had
chasing butterflies like they carried my soul
hunger pangs fill this empty space

a stranger's stare is stranger than friction
on a slippery slope of life's addiction
tv god's won't help you when you're broke
hell's angels love to see you broken
