John Thomason - Hardboiled Wonderland/End of the World Lyrics

Boats no longer drift against the current
Faking freedom, they're dashed on the rocks
Splintered and sinking in the bubbling rapid

Remember reckless was the way we ran
Before chance behavior caused us to blink
Hiding us from fate and twisting our turn

Depravity vanquished my deterrent
I could not hear the wanton way it walks
Quickly nudging me into the vapid

Whiskey's like a beautiful woman
You gaze at first then it's time to drink
Demanding appreciation, both burn

Touch their galloping golden manes
Hear the watchman's lonesome refrain
Search what secrets the skull contains
Know your spirit cannot sustain
