fade

i could use a glass of wine, red or white, doesn’t matter

just a starter

need a tumbler of scotch, ten or twenty five years old

just to take the edge off

drink away the misery, how i want to drink away this pain, just let take a drink, before this world makes me fade away

could use a shot of whiskey, top shelf or well i don’t care

need to feel the burn again

gonna get me a case of something barley made, crush the cans against my head

i can’t feel anything anyway

let me take sip of something potent, just to try numb this nagging pain, if you want to join me pull up a chair, before this world makes us fade away

been so long since i’ve felt anything, maybe going number will do the trick

so excuse my while i hit the liquor store, i’ll be fine in a just a bit

gonna sing along to some sad albums, and i’m gonna drink away this pain

don’t say a word to my sobriety, it wouldn’t understand it anyway

seems that all i’ve got is misery, all that seems to grow here is pain, maybe if i take a couple shots again, maybe it will all just fade away

i want to twirl you underneath the stars, instead i’ll drink away this pain, can you imagine you and me, or would you rather watch me fade away

doesn’t matter because you’ll never know how i feel, i just keep it all locked away, doesn’t matter how liquor i consume, let me hasten the process and fade away

so watch me as i drink a glass of whiskey

let me put this bottle of wine away

try and sip some more of this scotch, oh how it burns

let my consciousness just fade away
