I will either finish drinking

Or drinking will finish me

I will either start sinking

Or land upon my feet

 This time I will do it

For good for my kids

And ill make sure

I quit popping those lids

 This time I will quit drinking

To make me feel numb

Then when I’m sober

I won’t feel so dumb

 I justify my drinking

Because of my past

But now I know that’s

An excuse and won’t last

 But I enjoy it so much

So why should I quit

Because I know

 I will either finish drinking

Or drinking will finish me

 So please Jesus hear my prayer

I am finished drinking

As I hit my knees

People don’t understand

I drink to mask the pain

When they are in fact

The ones driving me insane

 No one understands me

Or the way I am at all

I don’t drink that much they

Just enjoy watching me fall

 No matter what they say

Ill never stop drinking

It’s my life and I enjoy it

So what the hell are they thinking

 Maybe I’ll stop someday

Or maybe I won’t

I won’t quit because they

Are always telling me don’t

 I only drink in spurts

I’ll just keep going

Until someone gets hurt

Who cares as

I keep my head above

The Dirt
