Talking to you that night the light was low 

I promised to you that I would never go 

But you left me and you took with you all that I knew 

About myself and about a life I thought I could choose 

 

Well it was never in the cards 

And that I have to show

I’m a piece of shit, I’m a hypocrite

oh buddy don’t I know 

What I take from you I give to me 

I’m a burden just to know 

But I’ll change yeah I’ll change, but I’ll change  

 

I’m leaving my mind behind cause nothing true can stay

The ice in my veins will always get warm 

And the insides of my brain well they might be torn 

But it’s all in vein, yeah it’s all in vein, it’s all in my veins 

If you think we’re busy living, well we must be dying too 

Cause there’s only so long you can live at this altitude 

I’ve been cruising, been sleeping, been running, been tweaking, been lying for so long 

Now my only way to talk is through Billy’s song 

 

Cause its always the same with billy

No strings attached- yet tangled, what a pity

Inside of Billy’s chest, is a stolen heart of gold 

and it’s painfully pounding against his ribs, hard and cold 

Promises, promises, all the lies he told  

to mend the fragments of what once was whole

Tragedy won’t make us any kinder     

he'll stumble and falter, 

That’s the ballad of our lost brother 

 

Well it was never in the cards 

And that I have to show 

I’m a piece of shit, I’m a hypocrite oh buddy don’t I know 

What I take from you I give to me 

I’m a burden just to know 

But I’ll change yeah I’ll change, but I’ll change
