remember the time i couldn't speak

everybody heard

the pin didn't drop it came and crashed down

then there was the time i couldn't walk

everybody laughed

so entertaining was this breakdown



turn and face the walls

i'm only drinking

eyes to the floor

i'm merely sinking



then there was the time i couldn't see

blind as a bat for drink and easy laughs

a terrible time

but keep it in mind

you can't tell your friends man cos this shit is mine



turn and face the wall

i'm only drinking

eyes to the floor

i'm merely sinking

so leave me alone

and why does it have to get like this?

it always seems to get like this

well i never meant to get like this

every night
