Drinking Alone

Drinking Alone (Freeverse)

 

Tonight I'm drinking to forget what happened today;

Six Guinness and a fifth of shine still won't send it away.

I am deep rooted to the drink, what can I say?

It helped to get me through my darkest day.

An old friend hit me today;

Said, "Steve I saw you on World Star."

We got to chatting and I asked for a simple phone call.

I guess that was too much to ask, he blew me off;

So, I sip on the bottle to send that shit off.

Said he's been drinking too;

Never was into that in school;

But I guess now the stress;

Eats at me and you.

I just wish we could've seen it through;

Had a chat for a minute or two;

But now I'm going through it;

Hit the drink, don't know what to do.

Turn on the TV and watch the news;

Seeing what the Congress do;

But it seems there's nothing new;

Nothing gets done, telling you.

This country has become a joke.

Pandemics make the people woke.

We all know that we're blowing smoke.

Paranoid of getting colds. (I know)

I feel like there's nowhere to go;

Trapped inside, I drink alone.

Within this skull I'm always froze;

I wish I knew what they said they don't.

Stuck in myself, just blowing smoke;

Venting on this track I wrote.

Talking to the people won't;

Fix myself. I need to go.
