A song I wrote about feeling empty and leaning on vices.
lyrics
I spilled three drinks tonight
but I told you I'm fine
there's just an aching you don't see behind my eyes
I thought I'd call you up
I know I should be tough
there's just this part of me that still thinks I miss you
and so I drink a little,
smoke a little,
and laugh a little more
until I cry a little,
lie a little,
til I know what I'm living for
restoration is making its voyage to me
and I know I will see it soon
I'm on my strongest shit,
getting through the thick of it
you know I'll do anything for serotonin
and so I drink a little,
smoke a little,
and laugh a little more
until I cry a little,
lie a little,
til I know what I'm living for
restoration is making its voyage to me
and I know I will see it soon
look at me drunk on the floor in the club
dancing all this darkness away
I don't know how much more I can take
I'm a walking, crying disaster
navigating a quiet and strange life "after"
tell me this sadness isn't here to stay
I fell so hard and quick
I'll make my peace with it
there's nowhere else to go
but straight ahead
but for now I drink a little,
smoke a little,
and laugh a little more
until I cry a little,
lie a little,
til I know what I'm living for
restoration is making its voyage to me
and I know I will see it soon
