'10 (part one for now)


Twenty odd bars off the top of my head:

Trying to forget the sickness inside
Because I spent all last spring thinking about suicide
Waking up, facing down something like a black cloud
Man, when I thought it left I felt so proud
Summer came, it felt good to feel the sun shinning
I tried to man up, quit my damn whining
Standing tall, knowing it could be worse
Because they just took away Mikey in a hearse
Driving down the road where He just died
Because a drunk asshole drove a mile down the wrong side
It's the kinda thing that makes me wanna put down the bottle
But instead I put it back, full throttle
You ever seen the bottom of a 1.75?
Type a shit make me glad to be alive
Because you all drink, but you don't drink like me
I'll shotgun a case to black out by 3
Think back to those nights, it's just bits and pieces
The pain goes away, but the darkness increases
Gotta be careful, because you can get lost in that abyss
Another scarred soul that the world will miss
