Whiskey works in waves I saw something hazy, a light Making it's way down to the shoreline I followed and took two more shots Along the lakeside One was to warm me up And the other to make me believe I couldn't drown in anything Besides a body of water Yet even with my feet Firmly planted on the beach My arms flailed above me I coughed up seaweed And my flooded lungs Began to sing a broken chantey "Take down the mast, o! Tear down the rigging! Tell me! Tell me! What is a life worth living?"
