I Still Drink

One time I knew some people
That I no longer know
I used to go a lot of places
That I no longer go
I've had a lot of thoughts
That I no longer think
But I still drink

I've done a lot of drugs
That I no longer do
People I no longer talk to
Including you
A lot of dirty dishes
Piled up in the sink
But I still drink

I need an escape from this life
One that doesn't involve a knife
I need a way to kill my pain
That doesn't involve poking a vein
I need a way to free my brain
From all of these thoughts that drive me insane

I've done a lot of things
I don't want to think about
I've been in a lot of situations
Where there was no way out
I've committed crimes
I'm still not in the clink
But I still drink

I've had a lot of girlfriends
I wasn't always faithful
I've had a lot of situations
Where I was downright hateful
I've done a lot of things
That really fucking stink
But I still drink

To be quite honest with you
It's the only thing that gets me through
My past, present, and future
Holds me together like a suture
It straightens out my head
I'll stop when I am dead
