Drinks

Pour me a drink, let it burn in my chest,

Let the amber flow do what it does best.

The jukebox hums, a sad tune,

Under the neon glow of a tired saloon.

Pour me a drink so I can wash my pain away,

Drown these shadows that won't let me stay.

Let me go numb, just for tonight,

Pour me a drink till the hurt feels right.

The barstool creaks like an old wooden pew,

Confessin' my sins to a whiskey or two.

The clock on the wall keeps draggin' me down,

Tickin' too slow in this lonesome town.

Pour me a drink so I can wash my pain away,

Drown these shadows that won't let me stay.

Let me go numb, just for tonight,

Pour me a drink till the hurt feels right.

A heart full of memories, too sharp to ignore,

Each sip I take just settles the score.

I know it ain't healing, it's just a disguise,

But for now, I’ll take comfort these lies.

Pour me a drink so I can wash my pain away,

Drown these shadows that won't let me stay.

Let me go numb, just for tonight,

Pour me a drink till the hurt feels right.
