Lyrics

Reasons I Drink

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

These are the reasons I drink

The reasons I tell everybody I'm fine even though I am not

These are the reasons I overdo it

I have been working since I can remember, since I was single digits

Now, even though I've been busted

I don't know where to draw the line 'cause that groove has gotten so deep

And nothing can give reprieve like they do

Nothing can give a break for this soldier like they do

Here we are

I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong

One more hit

It feels so helpful in my need for respite

And here are the reasons I eat

Reasons I feel everything so deeply when I'm not medicated

And so that's it, I am buying a Lamborghini

To make up for these habits, to survive this sick industry

Nothing can give reprieve like they do

Nothing can give me a break from this torture like they do

Here we are

I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong

One more sip

It feels so helpful in my need for some long overdue respite

And these are the reasons I don't even think I would quit

And these are the reasons I can't even see straight

And these are the ones whom I know it so deeply affects

And I am left wondering how I would function without it

Here we are

I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong

One more rip

I go from one lilypad to another to stay lit
