I’m quitting thinking for a while
bury my head and close my eyes
grit my teeth pretend to smile
lock those thoughts up for today
cos there’s no time to get my head straight
no time to get my head straight
thought i was finally growing up but I’m just fading away
thought i’d got my shit together
albeit somewhat haphazardly
clinging on with dear life to everything i know
and selfishly i decided not to go alone
i counted 16 half drunk cans next to my bed
souvenirs of 16 half cut nights that otherwise i cant remember
like the white socks on the roof
always reminding me of you
always reminding me of the one thing that I can never do
i thought i’d made the right decision
to pull me from the ground,
but it’s just another mistake
that dragged me further down,
I was clinging onto nothing
so I had to let it go
and for the first time I am truly alone
lose your inhibitions and drown your fears
i lost my mind and i lost the past 10 years
it’s the same sad song that we’ve been singing all along
those tasteless words should’ve been left to rot
that pile of half drunk cans accumulating by bed
are just souvenirs of all the years of pickling my head
my lungs are rattling
the demons found their way back in again
30 half drank cans next to my bed
the last 30 days a drunken haze that I just can’t forget
like those white socks on the roof
further proof of what I’ll never do
30 half drank cans next to my bed
not souvenirs just wasted beers i could’ve drank instead
my mind it flakes, my body aches
but i will do it all again
lose your inhibitions and drown your fears
i lost my mind and i lost the past 10 years
it’s the same sad song that we’ve been singing all along
those tasteless words should’ve been left to rot
