Lyrics:
I know life has never been kind to you
I tried to help you but I just wasn’t there
And I know that you didn’t have room for me
In your pit of despair

Your vices are whiskey, cigarettes, and me x2

Throughout highs and lows you’ve been there for me
Even though you don’t have space to care
I know that you didn’t have room for me
In your pit of despair

Your vices are whiskey, cigarettes, and me x2

Maybe you were the right person
But it was wrong reason
Wrong time, wrong place
Though I would give my all for one more embrace

Your voice has replaced my own voice in my head
It’s echo I just couldn’t bare
To watch as you stumble and fall into
your pit of despair

Your vices are whiskey, cigarettes, and me x2

Maybe you were the right person
But it was wrong reason
Wrong time, wrong place
Though I would give my all for one more embrace

Brilliant - electrifying - wonderful dissonance in the strings gave terrific tension, and slow percussion superb - loved the end solo too!
