Tomorrow morning never did exist
For us nothing but this night is real
We gather to quench this thirst
A toast, for all our troubles to steal

Denied, this world will not allow
My mind cracks under all the strain
This life is too much to live with now
With the next shot I’ll numb the pain

I know the pain will come back somehow
I'll hate myself more come break of day
But thoughts of dawn must be shoved down
As alcohol down my throat's way

Where sober efforts are in vain
My mind drifts slowly in intoxication's sea
In liquor's fog we become friends again
But that's barely enough for me

You're here but still I’m alone
At least my heart seems to forget
That your heart for me is stone
And that's all the love I'll get

If this illusion clouds your mind
And brings you into my embrace
When this night has been left behind
So would our memories, gone without a trace

If my actions fill me with regret
I won’t face them until day
The night is all I need and yet
Is it worth the price I have to pay?

It hinders all my despair
Pretending that you are mine
But I know this lie is not fair
Not now or any other time

Troubles remain forgotten
Time stands still once more
By day they'll hound me again
Even more virulent than before

I need release from my sorrow
But this solution is far too flawed
I cannot deny nor delay tomorrow
The falsehood cannot be ignored
