Hemlock

Yeah, so take a shower, shine your shoes, brother

Ain't no time to lose, brother, we're about to booze, brother

You could probably use another shot, take it in the kitchen

Put the key in the ignition and drink away inhibition

Yeah we work hard but we try to play harder

Recapin' last night is like the perfect day starter

Tryin' to piece together all of yesterday's troubles

Through the pictures on the camera and the blood up on our knuckles

And that bottle of Petrone, empty bottles of cologne

Someone's necklace in my bedroom and a number in my phone

Like yeah baby, man that shit was crazy

The way we approached the ladies and finally talked to Amy

And maybe she would holla

Cause baby I would leave you some cologne up on your sweater for your lipstick on my collar

And no I'm not in love with you, but yo it's only right

I'd rather have an awkward morning than deal with a lonely night

Ya see, I like the song slow and I like the nights long

I like the lights low and I like the drinks strong

I try to hide the fact that my life is superficial

In reality, this liquor is a pistol

It's like I'm drinkin' Hemlock, Aristotle come and share the bottle

Cause I see the planet through paradoxical pairs of goggles

I know a crazy social life can be intoxicating

And I'm not debating that it isn't…but all I'm saying

Is some people come and go while your lover is dedicated

So tell me who will be there when all these people have faded?

The music stops playin' and the buzz disappears

Will you really have somebody there to wipe away the tears?

This party atmosphere isn't always what it seems

Like a sucker, I traded away the woman of my dreams

I was lured by the Sirens and promised the popularity

And women with whom I don't share a single similarity

So next time I see the Goddess Godiva

I'll probably invite her, so we can get it poppin' and swappin' saliva

We're drinkin' liquor so everyone can be shallow

This party is a prison, baby send me to the gallows

And all these couples that are "takin' a break"

Thinkin' we're makin' memories, we're just makin' mistakes

So I wanna say I'm sorry for the nights that I was smokin'

The lights that I have broken

I wanna say I'm sorry for the words I meant to say to you but they were never spoken

I'd like to say I finally found the token, hopin'

That I could pull through, as I struggle with the evil

With more angels and demons than a Da Vinci Code prequel

I'd like to have a Saturday without a hangover

I would like to have a Friday night where I can bang sober

So welcome to the land of alcoholics

Where everyone is faker than the motherfuckin' license in your wallet

So I'mma take a shower, and I'll shine my shoes, brother

Ain't no time to lose, brother, but I'm 'bout to lose lovers

Cause I'm a young man and I know I must be livin'

So go now, lover, you finally are forgiven

You can dispatch, cause I would rather be single

Even though you're absolutely perfect, I would rather mingle

And even though our love will never ever be rekindled

I need to think about the day when I'll be old and wrinkled

Cause I don't ever wanna regret

This college social life is superficial but it's the only one that we get

So I wanna make mistakes while I still have the chance

So I drink the Hemlock and go find a slow dance

And I promise that I'll call you again

Even if I have to call you a friend, but 'till then…

I'll keep my head up and I'll try to be a soldier

And be happy with the opportunity of starting over
