Why am I still awake I sit here waiting I know what will help Ah yes that's better The haunting voices The painful memories I drown them out With every drink I down And yet every time I seem to forget The alcohol never kills them Only makes me reminisce Because rather than forget It does quite the opposite I dream of the past And escape from the present

A Drink
Why am I still awake I sit here waiting I know what will help Ah yes that's better The haunting voices The painful memories I drown them out With every drink I down And yet every time I seem to forget The alcohol never kills them Only makes me reminisce Because rather than forget It does quite the opposite I dream of the past And escape from the present
