The Numbing

Numbing myself with alcohol
quite saturated
until I just can't justify
anything at all


You know you are right
about everything
every little pain
becomes a fling

A brush with death
well, a fifth every night
swallowing some pills
doesn't make it all right

Now read into this
is it about you
your left wing values
just something to do

Hate me, fuck me
this life is endearing agony
sipping another glass of wine
stop for now, until another time

When all else explodes
from this sorry head
to these downtrodden woes,
well anything goes

Anything goes
anything goes
step on these toes
woe, woe, woe...
