…so I drink
My parents say I drink too much,
but they don't have a clue...
that I don't do it to get drunk,
but because I don't know what else to do.
I drink because I'm lonely.
I drink because I wanna talk to someone.
I drink because I have energy.
I drink because I have none.
I drink to make me feel something,
or sometimes nothing at all.
I drink because it makes me happy,
or because it brings about the downfall -
the downward spiral of my whole life
that I love so much I hate.
After so much turmoil, I have found the light,
whilst fearing I will never find heaven's gate.
I have so many things to do...
so I drink to calm down my brain.
I'm so happy I'm almost blue...
I fear I'll lose my art without some pain.
I drink to cover all the trauma
that seems to taint my past.
I drink to create some drama
in the days that just seem to pass.
But mostly I drink because I like it -
for simply no solid reason...
Or maybe it's because of all the bullshit...
because I secretly crave my demons.
The good times bring me nothing
except mediocre art and self-pity.
I claim no self-sabotage but I'm bluffing,
I just want to be less picky.
Less picky about everything that I want -
my ambition is slowly killing me,
so I become more and more drunk
and set my tortured soul free.
