Six bottles went down the drain
One hour's a waste of time
I'd ask if you feel the same
Still pushing that chance to try
Your breath in this cool room chill
Long hair that blows side to side
You speak and make time stand still
And each time you walk right on by
Like violence you have me
Forever, and after
Like violence you kill me
Forever, and after
Can't count all the eyes that stare
Can't count all the things they see
She kills with no life to spare
Just victims are left to bleed
One drink and the pain goes down
Soft shadows lay by her feet
Lay soft as you slowly drown
Lay still as you fall asleep
(Fall asleep)
Like violence you have me
Forever, and after
Like violence you kill me
Forever and after
(And after, and after)
(And after)
Like violence you have me
Forever, and after
Like violence you kill me
Like violence you have me
Forever, and after
Like violence you kill me
Like violence you kill me
Like violence you have me
Forever, and after
Like violence you kill me
Forever and after
Like violence you have me
Forever, and after
Like violence you kill me
Forever and after
One hour's a waste of time
I'd ask if you feel the same
Still pushing that chance to try
Your breath in this cool room chill
Long hair that blows side to side
You speak and make time stand still
And each time you walk right on by
Like violence you have me
Forever, and after
Like violence you kill me
Forever, and after
Can't count all the eyes that stare
Can't count all the things they see
She kills with no life to spare
Just victims are left to bleed
One drink and the pain goes down
Soft shadows lay by her feet
Lay soft as you slowly drown
Lay still as you fall asleep
(Fall asleep)
Like violence you have me
Forever, and after
Like violence you kill me
Forever and after
(And after, and after)
(And after)
Like violence you have me
Forever, and after
Like violence you kill me
Like violence you have me
Forever, and after
Like violence you kill me
Like violence you kill me
Like violence you have me
Forever, and after
Like violence you kill me
Forever and after
Like violence you have me
Forever, and after
Like violence you kill me
Forever and after

I think this son is about Tom’s drinking problem. I’m not entirely sure if he’s drinking because of a girl or tom’s is giving alcohol female attributes as a metaphor.
6 bottles down the drain (trying to quit) 1 hour is a waste of time (sobriety is boring and he misses alcohol) … You speak and make time stand still (being intoxicated takes away the boredom) And each time u walk right on by (he’s chasing the dragon, he’s eventually left sober and bored again)
Like violence you have me (he is needing alcohol. The addition is getting bad and hard on him—“violent”) Like violence you kill me ( (addiction is getting hard on his health)
Anyway that’s how I see the song. And Tom did admit to a drinking problem so it’s not too far a leap to think that’s what this song is about. But that’s just my idea and I may be wrong
