I woke up in time to break down again
Am I dead?
In my head
You showed up in time to walk out again
You just fled
As I bled
Yesterday I was sober
But you never came over
Now I'm all hungover
And it's all your fault
Can you really blame me?
I know you'd do the same thing
So come on and save me
From myself
All fucked up and all alone, again
Abandoned, isolated
I grew up in time to miss out again
Jettisoned generation
Yesterday I was sober
But you never came over
Now I'm all hungover
And it's all your fault
Can you really blame me?
I know you'd do the same thing
So come on and save me
From myself
You said you'd be by my side
But I knew deep inside
All along
That you'd lied
Yesterday I was sober
But you never came over
Now I'm all hungover
And it's all my fault
Can you really blame me?
I bet you'd do the same thing
So come on, somebody save me
From myself

Drinking Alone
02:36

All I want is a pint in my hand
Go on without me, fuck the band
They never even tried to understand
I’m becoming someone I can’t stand
Alienating potential fans
Pushing away all those that try and lend a hand
And I’m drinking alone again
I’m drinking alone again
I’m thinking I’ll phone a friend
So they can tell me talk is cheap
As I make promises I never keep
Sober is where I want to get
But even more I just want to forget
All the things that make me feel sick and upset
Making choices I’ll soon regret
Forgetting everyone I just met
I know I need to get ahead of this, yet–
I’m drinking alone again
I’m drinking alone again
I’m thinking I’ll phone a friend
So they can tell me talk is cheap
As I make promises I can’t keep
All I want is a pint in my hand
Go on without me, fuck the band
They never even tried to understand
Why-y-y
And I’m drinking alone again
And I’m drinking alone again
I’m thinking I’ll phone a friend
Yeah they can tell me talk is cheap
As I make promises I’ll finally keep

Spoons and Cups
03:25

I ain’t got the spoons and now I’m in my cups
Tripping to the moon and I’m all fucked up
If I just kill my brain
Then I can kill all the pain
At least until the morning when I wake up
Heart racing and I’m sweating
Gonna spend the whole day regretting
Why I’m dizzy and sick
And wondering if I acted like a dick
And my stomach won’t stop aching
And my hands won’t stop shaking
Who am I faking?
Did I make these decisions
Or did they make me
If I keep being unhealthy then they’ll surely break me
This morning I thought the angels might come and take me
What a pathetic little legacy

I’m in recovery
And that’s okay
Sitting in Group
And counting the days
I’m sure you all saw this one coming
From miles away - HEY!
Well, now I’m in recovery
And that’s okay
I was trying to fill a hole
I was trying to feel whole
I was dying to lose control
I was dying
Being hungover everyday
Ain’t very attractive
Guess it’s time I pick it up
And get proactive
(Now) I’m in recovery
And that’s okay
Sitting in Group
And counting the days
I’m sure you all saw this one coming
From miles away - HEY!
Well, now I’m in recovery
And that’s okay
Just one is too much
A million’s never enough
Just one is too much
A million’s never enough
Just one is too much
A million’s never enough
Just one…?
Being hungover everyday
Ain’t very attractive
Guess it’s time I pick it up
And get proactive

Co-Occurring Disorders
03:23
|
|||
Nobody likes you when you’re sick
If you can’t perform they just think you’re being selfish
Nobody trusts you when you’re sick
They just think you like being lazy and worthless
No one wants to face the reality
Of their own mortality
They look away and try not to see/believe
And then blame you for your disease
Oh, please
Nobody likes you when you’re sick
And they all think you probably somehow deserve it
Nobody trusts you when you’re sick
But they all secretly hope you did something to earn it
Because otherwise, that means that they, too, one day could get sick
And that means that this crazy world is just a bit too chaotic
I’ve got co-occuring disorders
Anarchy raging inside of me
Co-occuring disorders
At least I’m not bleeding in my selfies

Body Armor
04:11
|

This guitar is a life preserver
It's keeping me from drownin’ in a sea
Of alcohol and self-centered self-destruction
I can’t hold a drink if my hands are too busy strumming
Just get me a CBD
Or something sparkly
Woah oh, woah oh
It would not be a lie
If I said music saved my life
This guitar is a pacifier
Since my brain won’t stop buzzing like a bee
And the pain leaves me ragged, sick and tired
But in a song I float free from my body
Just get me a CBD
Or something sparkly
Woah oh, woah oh
This shit’s gonna make me cry
Yeah, music saved my life
Woah oh, woah oh
I cannot deny
music saved my life
This guitar is my body armor
It’s the one thing in which I think I still believe
Through all the loneliness and desperation
I can’t sip a drink if my lips are too busy humming
Woah oh, woah oh
I cannot deny
Music saved my life
Woah oh, woah oh
I probably wouldn’t still be alive
