Lucy/Demon #4

Help me unburden my mundane woes
Drowning in alcohol from my head to my toes
Inhibitions lose their power to taunt me and berate
Give me some liquor and I’ll show you the way
 
 
I drink to flood my sober thoughts
I hold my breath and drink three shots
I’ll drink until I forget how to drive
With a glass of wine my true love won’t die
 
 
I feel like tonight is the best night ever
Maybe I'll dance but I won’t remember
Yesterday will be a blur no matter what I do
With a sip of vodka and a gin or two
 
 
I’ll share what I’m scared to share
I will be drunk and I will be brave
And in its wake it leaves me with a tender raw emotion
That carries me upon a wave of heady dissolution
 
 
Remember how hard I tried not to care?
Well, here I am and I’m drunk again
My enemies have become my friends
I’m everything but not myself
 
 
Drinking is nice
Makes you look cool
What I really am
Is a desperate fool
 
 
So now to a bed I crawl in an inconvenient condition
It’s not my bed but I don’t care, I didn’t ask for permission
I close my eyes and pray for sleep
In the loud echoes of the crawling winds
 
 
But my mind is open, so are my eyelids
My whisky glass keeps calling soflty
I’ll drink no more, I’m feeling clumsy
I’m feeling anxious, I am in crisis
 
 
Alcohol burns the throat
But heals a heart that has been bruised
Pure rum may kill your liver
But gives you the power to swallow slivers
 
 
I tried to find the answers in the bottom of the bottle
Now it’s all messed up and the glitter lost its sparkle
My soul is vulnerable and the truth is screaming
My body is weak and my thoughts are spinning.
