I get drunk to forget myself And for a little while, pretend I am someone else Tortured souls feel the most And me myself and I, don't mean to boast But I've seen all the coasts
Swallowing me up whole Pretty words don't mean much when I constantly drink in the ugly I used to think alone was better That if I was the one to hurt me It would feel better than leave myself open for someone to scar me
But the winter winds are blowing from the skies And this autumn jacket lining is frail and thin
Sipping on bottles of reoccurring notions Soaring through broken promises
Don't leave me lonely One foot, another day Once more, the hallowing wind
