Drunk on silence
Drunk on happiness
I never really knew how straight your smile was
Or how it something so simple
That only takes 43 muscles to do
Could make my heart flutter and tingle so much
You're really special
And it literally turns my smile upside down
When you go in on yourself and degrade yourself so much
Drunk on violence
On anger
I never knew that there were so many things that you could get drunk on
That wasn't whiskey
Or bourbon
Or *****
Not to mention spiced ***
Over the course of my life I learned
That you can get high on good days
And crash on worse days
I've learned that life is just a huge cocktail
Except you're in Russia
And instead of you drinking it
Savoring it's bitterly stinging caress
It savors you
It lifts you up to the edge of its lips
And takes a wonderfully large sip
Right from your life source
That's why you get up every morning
Feeling a little drained
Or that's why you don't get out of bed at all
And I know it's hard to find something to look forward to
But in the end when you find that something
Or someone
It'll be worth it
The darkness will shrivel away
And your day will get sunnier  
So please
Just keep getting up
It's worth it It won't seem like it now
But it is I promise as long as you keep getting up
It's worth it
You're worth it
