These are the reasons I drink
The reasons I tell everybody I’m fine
Even though I am not
These are the reasons I overdo it
I have been working since I can remember
Since I was single digits
Now
Even though I’ve been busted
I don’t know where to draw the line
‘Cause that groove has gotten so deep
And nothing can give reprieve like they do
Nothing can give a break for this soldier like they do
Here we are
I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong
One more hit
It feels so helpful in my need for respite
And here are the reasons I eat
Reasons I feel everything so deeply
When I’m not medicated
And so that’s it, I am buying a Lamborghini
To make up for these habits
To survive this sick industry
Nothing can give reprieve like they do
Nothing can give me a break from this torture like they do
Here we are
I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong
One more sip
It feels so helpful in my need for some long overdue respite
And these are the reasons I don’t even think I would quit
And these are the reasons I can’t even see straight, and
And these are the ones whom I know it so deeply affects
And I am left wondering how I would function without it
Here we are
I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong
One more rip
I go from one lilypad to another to stay lit
