Diary Of An Alcoholic (10 Shots)

歌詞

All it takes is one shot to get me feeling myself and have the devil knocking at my door All it takes is two shots to numb this pain, have me thinking I'm fine and I need to drink more All I need is three shots to take this weight of anxiety and throw it out and go explore And buy that fourth shot I'm slurring my words and don't recognize myself anymore Buy that fifth and that sixth I'm trippin' and by that seventh I know I gotta take eight Nine shots means I'm getting home real late and ten shots is all that it takes To have a night I won't remember Life's a bitch and it's probably 'cause I upset her We get one but the F.O.M.O. from missing fun will have me looking back later wishing I treated her better My future self's screaming whenever I take a sip Telling me I'm drowning and sinking and can't swim That I should slow down and stop 'cause somebody might get hit Like how I should have just stopped at the stop sign I just missed These spirits taking the happiness out my soul Jacking Daniel of moments this whiskey's taking a toll Tequila shots on these rocks I'm dodging trying to avoid They hit me reopen wounds now I'm drinking to fill a void This alcoholic story is one I didn't expect Diary full of pages I'm bleeding on to forget Paying for all my sins in the currency called regret The re-spending it on the alcohol knowing it won't help All it takes is one shot to get me feeling myself and have the devil knocking at my door All it takes is two shots to numb this pain, have me thinking I'm fine and I need to drink more All I need is three shots to take this weight of anxiety and throw it out and go explore And buy that fourth shot I'm slurring my words and don't recognize myself anymore Buy that fifth and that sixth I'm trippin' and by that seventh I know I gotta take eight Nine shots means I'm getting home real late and ten shots is all that it takes I'm not happy with the path that I chose I water the tree of addiction, it's no wonder it grows I try to picture life sober, so I strike me a pose But the image never develops or it's over-exposed When I subtract it, it gets added to the places I go If I divide it, it multiplies and the sum as a whole Equals my life falling can't exponentially grow Because I'm too damn drunk to walk up the slippery slope Why didn't anybody tell me that alcohol was a drug? That who you are as a man is never enough? That social drinking and popping bottles in clubs Is drinking until you die disguised as living it up? I'm crying in this booth having conversations with God Starting is so easy, quitting is so hard Praying that I escape, find a way out the dark Feels like I'm in a prison, all I'm seeing is bars Everywhere that I turn, everywhere that I look Water's turning to wine like Jesus did in the book And the thought of the Bible teaching sobriety got me shook Because maybe it was a metaphor that I misunderstood And as I sit here drinking, ignoring every call Looking back on my life, moments I can't recall Haunt me, taunt me, forced me to crawl Laugh at my pain, pray that I fall All it takes is one shot to get me feeling myself and have the devil knocking at my door All it takes is two shots to numb this pain, have me thinking I'm fine and I need to drink more All I need is three shots to take this weight of anxiety and throw it out and go explore And buy that fourth shot I'm slurring my words and don't recognize myself anymore Buy that fifth and that sixth I'm trippin' and by that seventh I know I gotta take eight Nine shots means I'm getting home real late and ten shots is all that it takes I gotta make a change Not only for myself, but for the people I love
