Parade

Funny how your pictures used to be on my walls
 Funny how that gesture means nothing at all
 Nothing left for you to say that I would want to hear
 Nothing left but empty bottles
 So drink all night, sleep through the day
 Walk through this life like it was a parade
 And when you see me, grin and wave
 Nothing matters at all, with a foot in the grave
 Nothing left but remnants of what I thought you'd be
 Nothing but the absence of everything I need
 Nothing left for me to do, but act like you're not here
 Nothing left but empty bottles
 So drink all night, sleep through the day
 Walk through this life like it was a parade
 And when you see me, grin and wave
 Nothing matters at all, with a foot in the grave
 Everyone's thinking, but now they know
 That lately your sanity's been touch and go
 But I think you knew that long ago
 Funny how it's worked out, if you could only see
 Can't reconcile the distance that's between you and me
 Nothing left for us to do but turn and walk away
 Nothing left but empty bottles
 So drink all night, sleep through the day
 Walk through this life like it was a parade
 And when you see me, grin and wave
 Nothing matters at all, with a foot in the grave
 I'll see you with one foot in the grave
