Familiar Names, Familiar Games

Looking back on where I've been
So many nights alone with this gin
And my wasted talk with my wasted friend
Blame it on the world, come on back again

Familiar names
Familiar games
Ain't that a shame

Now I was gonna leave this behind
So many dreams done walked my mind
But courage was something I could not find
Pour me one more just to ease my dying

Ain't that a shame

Safe here, do you know what I mean?
'Cause it ain't nothing but the same routine
And maybe dying ain't as bad as it seems
'Cause on the wind ride the dust of my dreams

Familiar games
Ain't that a shame

And how many tears are left to cry
When your life has done passed you by?
And you laugh at your friend when they say "Please try"
But everybody here been born to die
