Drinking Yourself Into The Future

I look to good to be this old
 With lubricated lips repeating stories told
 And if you could, could you save me
 From the consequence that pains me
 Before we descend again
 In the moonlight glow
 Forget the past and just let it go
 In the moonlight glow
 Forget the years and the tears that flowed
 Until what's left is you all alone
 In the moonlight glow
 The silence comes at me in waves
 I see a raised fist
 The ringing lasts for days
 And if you could, could you save me
 From the consequence that pains me
 Before we descend again
 I'll never go back
 In the moonlight glow
 Forget the past and just let it go
 In the moonlight glow
 Forget the years and the tears that flowed
 Until what's left is you all alone
 In the moonlight glow
 We're all patriots
 We're all neighbors in the end
 Lost all pretension
 When all that's left was bought and spent
 We're all citizens, faithful to the end
 Drink our livers dry like good Americans
 And if I said there was a time
 I loved the smoke and half-assed lies
 Would you admit the words you said to me went on and on
 In the moonlight glow
 Forget the past and just let it go
 In the moonlight glow
 Forget the years and the tears that flowed
 Until what's left is you all alone
 In the moonlight glow
