These Moments Define Us

And I'll speak for them
 The untimely, the tragic, the should have beens
 For our loved ones to hear and our fallen friends
 Don't choke up, be eloquent
 It's moments like this that define us
 Most of my friends, they drink too much
 It seems the more they're in tune with the times
 The more they drink
 I don't know why they're wearing out early
 Hard and languid at twenty one
 This city is bloated glutted and stupid
 The damage done
 This goddamn restlessness is approaching hysteria
 It doesn't muster much delight all the fucking and the fights
 It's awful easy to let go
 I know more than I let on or hope to do
 So and I'll speak for them
 The untimely, the tragic, the should have beens
 For our loved ones to hear and our fallen friends
 Don't choke up, be eloquent
 It's moments like this that define us in the end
