Living should carry a warning label

 
When another days got you down again  
can't wallow any lower  
there is scarcely a crumb for the mouse  
that food's not getting eaten  
chain smoking the pain away  
Hardly eating or sleeping  
 
This living shreds the soul  
so, when I'm failing  
should carry a warning label  
 
That's why I close my eyes  
when I'm able  
to catch a glimpse  
maybe just a blink  
of you
yeah beautiful you
 
This living shreds the soul  
so, when I'm failing  
should carry a warning label  
 
that's why I close my eyes  
when I'm able  
to catch a glimpse  
maybe just a blink  
of you
 yeah beautiful you
 
When the nights  dragging on  
laying in this discarded mess  
not quite passed out  
binge drinking this hurt away
thinking needing a womans touch
 but the mirrors reflections
got me frightened
 
 
 
This living shreds the soul  
so, when I'm failing  
should carry a warning label  
 
that's why I close my eyes  
when I'm able  
to catch a glimpse  
maybe just a blink  
of you
yeah beautiful you  
 
why I'm fighting this loosing battle
Marvelous evening, how could one not think of you, looking up at something so  
beautiful
