I'm drinking, I'm drinking again
I know it ain't healthy
but it helps
Some days I'd stay in bed
if only I could sleep
Some days I'm almost dead
I've got nothing I want to keep
Couldn't say I'm feeling bad
There ain't much left to feel
Couldn't say I lost what I had
What I had was hardly real
I'm drinking, I'm drinking again
I know it doesn't get me anywhere
But it keeps me going
Sometimes I even go out
but the outside feels so strange
Sometimes I walk about
but my circles never change
Couldn't face those conversations
I prefer to play deaf and dumb
Couldn't face your lack of patience
with this shadow I've become
I'm drinking, I'm drinking again
I know my doctors disapprove
but why should I care?
I'm drinking, I'm drinking again
I know it could kill me
but it kills the pain first
