Your taste is in my mouth Burning the back of my throat Like all the liquor I've been drowning myself in We both didn't want each other Each morning waking up with you was another headache I would would spend the morning in the kitchen Closer to the bottles Further from you It was all perfect at first Two broken hearts finding something new But here I am now No longer broken, but annihilated We connected so fast But your connection was toxic You needed me to save you But you wanted me carry you Instead of taking all your weight I talked you through my heart That ******* maze of misery Showing you how to navigate the pain, the lonliness You wanted validation for your mistakes I kept hanging around Wanting to see the improvement It never showed There was never a chance for us to blossom Because my blossom already happened And my roots were ripped out You just finally put my in the trash Now I can see what all this was My attempts to reclaim some lost love You were never right for me I was never right for you All that time was a waste Nothing changed I'm still drinking my heart into a darker hole Watching blackness take my mind Waiting for someone Waiting for my heart to call me back To the sandy shores of my memory Where waves of emotion hit me Each wave reminding me of a better time This was only year one in a new place Cheers to a new year with a little less suffering And a little more love

Toxic Taste of Waste
Your taste is in my mouth Burning the back of my throat Like all the liquor I've been drowning myself in We both didn't want each other Each morning waking up with you was another headache I would would spend the morning in the kitchen Closer to the bottles Further from you It was all perfect at first Two broken hearts finding something new But here I am now No longer broken, but annihilated We connected so fast But your connection was toxic You needed me to save you But you wanted me carry you Instead of taking all your weight I talked you through my heart That ******* maze of misery Showing you how to navigate the pain, the lonliness You wanted validation for your mistakes I kept hanging around Wanting to see the improvement It never showed There was never a chance for us to blossom Because my blossom already happened And my roots were ripped out You just finally put my in the trash Now I can see what all this was My attempts to reclaim some lost love You were never right for me I was never right for you All that time was a waste Nothing changed I'm still drinking my heart into a darker hole Watching blackness take my mind Waiting for someone Waiting for my heart to call me back To the sandy shores of my memory Where waves of emotion hit me Each wave reminding me of a better time This was only year one in a new place Cheers to a new year with a little less suffering And a little more love
A full year has gone by in a new city. Seen a lot, done a lot. Going to quit drinking so much and start taking care of myself more. A sober mind might make things better. idk, I'm feeling blue again.
