Drink

****** why have I forsaken You? What have I done?

I want to find my heart at the barrel of a gun.

 

I look for some happiness, but I need someone to hurt.

I wear this all over my sleeve. Hell it's the whole ******* shirt.

 

I find refuge in the parties. In the brothers and the *****

It distracts me from the pain. Makes me think I didn't lose.

 

I find that happiness at the bottom of every bottle.

And that's certainly better than at the necks I want to throttle.

 

I'm almost afraid of being an alcoholic. But at least I'm still alive?

Am I alive? Really? Or just a broken husk? I definitely cannot thrive.

 

Thrive in this world of pain, hunger, and loss. Win what isn't there.

Hope, love, happiness, fulfillment. I'd look, but I don't know where.

 

Happiness at the bottom of the bottle, but at least I'm still here.

I don't even care if I fall in head first. At least I won't feel fear.
