Ashtray Monument

Free, alone

The predawn white light's coming on

Bottle on the nightstand

I count disasters on my free hands now

Run for cover there's a big one comin'

You'll be lucky if you're at ground zero

No one said that this life was easy

Did that no one ever live a life this hard?

It gets hard

The bills are scattered in the yard

Ashtray monument

A life spent waiting and cement comes down

Run for cover there's a big one comin'

You'll be lucky if its got your number

No one said that this life was easy

Did that no one ever live a life this hard?

After all it's not that bad

I still have pictures

I look back

At all the things that we once did

You said "I love you"

I guess you did

Remember our whole life?

I did the dishes while you read out loud

Best friends, strangers now

Were our kids all we could call common ground?

After all it's not that bad

I still have pictures

I look back

At all the things that we once did

You said "I love you"

I guess you did
