lyrics

(Chorus) - Erre D
I, I’ve drank my sorrow and dwelled in my pain
Until tomorrow’s mirror drinking again
My judgment’s clouded, I can’t see far
The truth is out of sight while I’m at the bar

(Verse 1)
I believe the main ingredient in liquor must be tears
From painful emotions, that’s why it burns here
Confrontations with sadness, anger, and fear
You welcome the burn in hope they disappear
Set fire what you no longer want to confront
You spend your days putting up a front
And then reveal yourself when you’re drunk
Pulling off all kinds of stunts
When your emotions seem to truly come out
Wondering why you have them and what they’re about
Dizzy state makes it easy to cry, scream, or shout
Don’t care if it rains from your eyes when your in this cloud
So you let out the truth
You get to be you
And you continue to drink all night
Until you feel like you’re enjoying life
Forget about strife and just try to be hype
But it really isn’t all, all right

(Verse 2)
Bottled emotions like liquor in a bottle
Once you pop it open it comes full throttle
World spinning like your head is in a bobble
Life is the liquor and alcohol is the chaser that follows
To smooth it out and provide a cushion to fall on
The bottle is your friend that’s always there when you call on
Provides an ear to your problems when you need to vent
Until all of your sense is spent
Freedom is felt from problems and societal control
All truth, nothing hidden, release of your soul
Abuse the substance like life’s abuse
But with every shot you’re hanging your own noose
That’s why they call it a hangover, it’s not news
Pain returns, head ache, puke like the emotions you lose
These emotions we hide are like a lit fuse
And it has me all confused

(Bridge) - Kaleh
I’m driving solo, dark night.
I am the superior.
Car swinging, beer drinking.
I find myself staring at the side view mirror.
What might happen, only destiny knows.

(Verse 3)
Feeling like my throat’s on fire, screeching rims and tires
Foggy glass, inside is the drunkest driver
At the wheel losing control, reactions are slow
Disregarding what the traffic lights show
Appears all the same
Swerving, curving, lane to lane
Nervous, trying to maintain
A stable mind frame
But my focus disappears like hocus pocus
Speeding up cuz the route home, you know I know this
Reaching 83 on these streets
When I see a girl crossing in front of me
Hit the break, hoping it’s not too late
And that I didn’t make a mistake and delivering her an ill fate
Break to halt, she hits the asphalt
Car turns, summersaults and it my fault
That I’m lying motionless in a mangled car
And killed a girl because I had to many drinks at the bar
