Sitting in the dark
This pounding in my heart
I need a release
To put me at ease
I crack open the bottle
My heart at full throttle
I'll drink 'til I can't walk
Maybe 'til I can't talk
Let it rush to my brain
So I can feel the gain
An easy feeling
The joy it is bringing
I drink 'til I see clouds
I drink 'til I pass out
Then I wake the next day
Sober, when life is dull and grey
Reality hits me right in the face
At such a fast and dangerous pace
I don't know what to do or think
All I know, is I need another drink

Sitting in the dark
This pounding in my heart
I need a release
To put me at ease
I crack open the bottle
My heart at full throttle
I'll drink 'til I can't walk
Maybe 'til I can't talk
Let it rush to my brain
So I can feel the gain
An easy feeling
The joy it is bringing
I drink 'til I see clouds
I drink 'til I pass out
Then I wake the next day
Sober, when life is dull and grey
Reality hits me right in the face
At such a fast and dangerous pace
I don't know what to do or think
All I know, is I need another drink
