lyrics

My stubble stabs a paper mask as I make my way home,
They measured me in Curies, touched my eyeballs through my nose
In a state of isolation, marching towards it’s yawning brink
I am followed by a single thought
Dear god I want a drink

I’ve seen kith and kin succumb to wand’ring through the fog
The whimsy of confusion, tar to slow the turning cogs
In perfect silence, I can hear a whisper of that plea
That called those sailors to the bustling void that is the sea
And in perfect silence, still my deafening worries crash and clink
I am driving home and all I know’s
Dear god I want a drink

Maybe not an addict yet
but on the borderline
There’s a bottle in the corner of my eyes

I hear a kind voice call me from a cold place in my room
Throughout the day the kind one sings above me as it looms
There some empty cans, a sponge to clean some vomit from the sink
Still I hear the voice that calls me for to have another drink

And nothing feels like anything while walking down the street
My skin has turned to steam that’s drifting aimless in the heat
If I doze off on the train I’ll wake up twenty years too late
To a town that I don’t know and folks to whom I can’t relate
And the first thing in the morning after waking I will think
Why is everything so different now dear god I want a drink

I can still say not tonight
But haven't found much will to try
don’t have to be dignified at this hour of the night
And faced with these anxieties, a siren's song replies
Bottle singing from the corner of my eye
