Drink away all your problems as a way of coping
Instead of sitting and getting to know them
All you'll have left are these aches
And you'll take the cheapest way out just to soothe them
Instead of getting better
You are breaking the bank
Due to a system that is enslaving you
And the substances marketed to free you
Taking the edge off to escape this pain
That we are exposed to daily
Using only to silence my brain
Overtime I found this ritual wasn't for me
Using cause I was bored instead of
Finding something to do
Never gave my life as much meaning as I could have
Never looking for people to be close to
Wasting my time
Drink away your problems as your way of coping
Ignoring all your stressors as a
Way of coping
It's not freeing the mind
It's delaying the inevitable
Work towards your own happiness
And don't turn to the bottle
Never again
Never again
I will never let this happen to me again
This is a means to an end
