My physical being and the liquor I drink
Sometimes I stay awake simply to think
And thinking is simply dissolving my own head
Making a list of the concepts I won’t get
They say there’s plenty of fish in the water
I’m just trying to tell them apart from the piranhas
My little sister told me whats meant to be will happen
But you can’t fence the beast
I’ve been hurt
And I’ve hurt people around me
Prime example of being moulded by surroundings
I’ve never cheated on a girl I loved
But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t come close once
Brain like a ball of yarn; pretty girls untangle me
I’m distracted by heartbeats
I lose lovers like some people lose car keys
Easily replaceable
But I got places to go
I look around and see
All these people who I’ll never meet
In the dim lighting of street lights
I found and lost myself using only my mind
So many scary memories
And I’ve noticed they will never leave
I’ll fall in love, and then I’ll get hurt quick
But the hurting is worth it cuz I need that shit
I love to get drunk, I hate to think
But I can’t stop thinking and I’m on the brink
I hate to get drunk, I love to think
But I can’t stop drinking and it makes me think
I love to get drunk, I hate to think
But I can’t stop thinking and it makes me drink
I hate to get drunk, I hate to think
But I can’t stop…
I know now; this is something I can’t turn off
I know now
This is something I must learn from
Maybe the purpose of these sacred instabilities
Is a reminder,
It ain’t that bad if it ain’t killing me
