last night I drank rum til I got sick
she told me I was throwing up
but I don't remember it
and the stains still soak my shirt
God damn I feel like shit
by now I thought I'd learn...
I woke up on the couch to open cans
stale liquid spilling o'er the brim
oh, lord! we'll never stand a chance
and you hooked up with my ex
it's not the first, it's not the last
it's not the worst, it's not the best
so
I'm stuck in circles
I'm chasing suns
I'm gauging life
by the drugs I've done
I might be happy
til I'm bored again
and I scrape that baggy dry
by five AM
tomorrow I've got to be functioning
I got work at ten AM
and I've a million words to read
so I slither and I slug
I just wish it all would stop
because today has been too long
my body aches
and my arms and legs are sore
I keep on nodding off
and I cannot take much more
then day fades into night
I think I'm ready for a beer
I swear I'll have just one or two--
right?!
I'm twisting circles
like bottle caps
every swig I take
brings different consciousness
I'm always thirsty and I never dread
until the morning sun is shining on my head
my memories are multi-colored blurs
I swear I didn't do that
but now I'm not so sure
and the world spins in my head
I'm not asking for your sympathy
and I've learned not to beg
to be another man
I'll never dream to be
I'm gonna live my life
in its absurdity
I know that half the things
I tend to always do
I didn't choose myself
I've only grown into
and so for every flaw
in all of you I see
I know that you make up
for every flaw you find
in me
