Sculptors and Vandals Lyrics
I remember when you came around
I was younger
Burning statues to the ground
Now I'm older and tired
I no longer see the differences
I remember the taste of the fruit
Disremember all we knew
Said we wanted to be interesting
Then we fell asleep
These days you'll find me where the nectar's plenty
Looks are cheap and the talk is heavy
Liars lie to themselves
Liars lie to themselves
I remember
You said, "Sometimes I need you around"
You said that my conveniences are so convenient
You said you wanted to be interesting
Then you fell asleep
These days you'll find me where the nectar's plenty
Looks are cheap and the talk is heavy
Liars lie to themselves
Liars lie to themselves
Walk home single, seeing double
Walk home single, seeing double
Walk home single, seeing double
Walk home single, seeing double
I was younger
Burning statues to the ground
Now I'm older and tired
I no longer see the differences
I remember the taste of the fruit
Disremember all we knew
Said we wanted to be interesting
Then we fell asleep
These days you'll find me where the nectar's plenty
Looks are cheap and the talk is heavy
Liars lie to themselves
Liars lie to themselves
I remember
You said that my conveniences are so convenient
You said you wanted to be interesting
Then you fell asleep
These days you'll find me where the nectar's plenty
Looks are cheap and the talk is heavy
Liars lie to themselves
Liars lie to themselves
Walk home single, seeing double
Walk home single, seeing double
Walk home single, seeing double

About dealing with alcoholism. He remembers his younger days when he was reckless and partying, not caring about the repercussions of his behavior. But it wasn't all that he wanted it to be. They thought it made them interesting, but then they just fell asleep (from drinking too much).
He's in a better place now ("where the nectar's plenty"), but I think the song is directed at someone from his past who is still drinking. Or maybe he's speaking directly to the drink itself: "Sometimes I need you around" (Sometimes I want to drink again) "my conveniences are so convenient" (drinking is such an easy escape).
But the drinkers are of course lying to themselves. There's nothing good that comes from a bottle. It wrecks you romantic relationships and even if you go there with your friends, once you start drinking you're really there alone, and you go back home to your empty apartment with nothing but a hangover ("walk home single, seeing double...")
