Immortalized Sobriety

#

Got jumped going down the alley

by a couple of bottles and a card game

Got my portrait painted finally,

hands hidden by the fancy frame

 

"Immortalized Sobriety"

that's what I'll call it,

immortalized sobriety

and not alcoholic

 

I'll tell my friends

I'll never drink again

We both know that's

not ******* happenin'

 

I'll tell my friends

I'll never lie again

We both know that's

maybe gonna happenin'

 

Am I losing my mind?

No, no just one more drink

am I perfectly fine?

No, no just let me think

 

My mind is soaked

in fermented brine

this page is soaked

with blotchy

                         **i

                            n

                              k

                                  -**

 

-ling of a remembrance

woke up in the backseat

of a taxi cab repentance

aftertaste so bittersweet

declare me in-dependance

 

I'll tell my friends

I'll never drink again

We both know that's

not ******* happenin'

 

I'll tell my friends

I'll never lie again

We both know that's

already happened

 

Am I losing my **** mind?

No, no just one more **** drink

am I just fuckin' blind?

No, no just let me fuckin' think

 

I think I might need,

I think I might need,

I think I might need

you.
