Liquid courage slides down my gullet
To approach her from across the room.

Told myself that she was full of it
A habit spelling my certain doom.

One deep breath intakes the fun-to-be
Helps me push away my deepest fears.

I can feel the music about me
Finally fitting in with my peers.

Spinning my good friend, I find a match
Taller than I, but nothing like her.

Hot and heavy moving past her patch
Finish within the time I assure.

Up a level, the party begins
My first winter storm left me burning.

Now it's really boiling up within
Up my nostrils, I feel it churning.

The yellow cannonball firing far
At last, I can be with the great stars

To escape is to see.
To sea is to drown.
To drown is to end.
To end this long abuse.

There's nothing left
You can't escape
There's only death
Accept your fate.

A little too much to drink.
A little too much that day.

Yes I went a little too far
And I'm willing to work hard.

But he won't give me a chance
One strike and then you're out.

I didn't mean to hit him that hard
But now I've got to clean it up.

I don't practice self harm
I'm just an observer.
It has a certain charm
It just makes me wonder.

It's full of holes.

I'm for freedom of speech,
Only when it's applied to me

I protect animals
Unless they're food

I want your time
But won't pay it back.

I won't give you some help
Now cut me some slack.
