I have seen this before (we've all seen this before)

A drunkard in the making

Abandoned by age six, a son of a bitch

Years of abuse cannot just dissipate

The scent of booze... far too strong for far too long.

Swirling downward. losing balance.

A double barrelled kiss to the roof of the mouth.

Triggers under. under Pressure.

I'd siphon this poison from my veins but

It feels better. to let it pool.

Slaking the thirst. slave to a shotglass.

Shrouded in a cloak of bereavrement

Devout only to my own liquored testament

I have seen this before (we've all seen this before)

A disaster waiting to happen

The habit stayed like a ghost to the estate

Far too long after last call

The scent of booze... far too strong for far too long.

Swirling downward. Losing balance.

A double barrelled kiss to the roof of the mouth.

Triggers under. under Pressure.

I'd siphon this poison from my veins but

It feels better to let it pool.

Slaking the thirst. slave to a shotglass.

Coherent enough only to binge. perceptions lost.

Shit-faced and dumb just like the last one.

Continuting this onward march

The intoxication... the inhebriation

Fueling the days, the days that once were sober

What have i become?

My whole life's on tap.

Destroy the day.

With just a tip of the glass.

I have seen this before (we've all seen this before)

I'm knee deep in this bullshit

Utter chaos controls this life's every aspect

And fucks you only how it will see fit

The scent of booze... far too strong for far too long.

Swirling downward. Losing balance.

A double barrelled kiss to the roof of the mouth.

Triggers under. under Pressure.

I'd siphon this poison from my veins but

It feels better. to let it pool.

Slaking the thirst. slave to a shotglass.

Intoxication, inhebriation... lets drink!

Rehab won't kill my instinct
