I can hear the treetops in the distance
  I can see your hollowed eyes
  What have you done to yourself in this instance?
  I guess it comes as no surprise
    I can see the billboards in the distance
  Writing is on every wall
  I don't wanna know about your business
  Sooner or later, friend, you've got to fall
    Every night it's gotta be adventure
  The way you live your life's a crime
  And if you're guilty, will you serve the sentence?
  You're already doing time
    There's nothing wrong with having aspirations
  Nothing wrong with walking tall
  But if misfortune deals the consequences
  Sooner or later, friend, you've got to fall
    I know the difference, you keep your distance
  I don't wanna know what you've got
  Is it pathetic to be sympathetic?
  Maybe you don't wanna get caught
  Caught up in something that's real
  That could last for a lifetime
  Nothing like the disease
  Disease that's in your mind
    I can see your life disintegrating
  Into ashes in your hand
  And I know you wouldn't want to tell me
  What is wrong 'cause you're a man
