Verse 1

 I'm walking down in the basement

 I'm leaning on the washing machine

 I'm reaching back through a

 hole in the wall's insulation

 I'm pulling out a

bottle of vodka

 Replacing that with a

pint of Jim Bean

 I'm lying down on the

 floor until I feel better

Interlude

Verse 2

 It's morning and I

pour myself coffee

 I drink it til the

kitchen stops shaking

 I'm backing out of

the driveway

 And into creation

 And the loving spirit

 that follows me

 Watching helplessly

 will always forgive me

Chorus 1

 Oh I want to die alone

 With my sympathy beside me

 I want to bring down all

 those demons who drank with me

 Feasting bleed through me

 On my desperation

Verse 3

 I hide all the bottles in places

 They find and confront me

 with pain in their eyes

And I promise that I'll

 make some changes

 But reaching back it

 occurs to me

 There will always be some

 kind of crisis for me

Chorus 2

 Oh I want to die alone

 With my sympathy beside me

 I want to bring back all

those moments they

 stole from me

 In my reverie

 Darkening days end

Guitar solo

Chorus 3

 Oh I want to die alone

 With my memories inside me

 I want to live that life

When I could say

 people had faith in me

 I still see that

 guy in my memory

Chorus 4

 Oh I want to die alone

 With my sympathy beside me

 I want to bring down

all those people

 who drank with me

 Watching happily

 My humiliation
