Lyrics
Drunken Lament
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.
Self-loathing is quaint
You told me, showing restraint
Now you're gone, and I'm lost
In the swells, I am tossed
Bobbing and choaking
And losing the fight in the fog
You said forever
Tell me why can't you stay?
Chorus:
I'd ride in your pocket all day
But I just don't fit
Say the word and I'll change
I'm throwing a party tonight
I drink more than a sailor I'm sure
Pour the rum in my eyes, tell me lies
Oh
Drunk since Saturday
Without you, without restraint
(Ahhh)
It still stings where you stung
Water swings in my lungs
I'm starving for words
That would ration my sadness away
Tell me forever
Tell me you'll come back to stay
(Chorus)
You were the mermaid for me
Till one day, you found your feet
Leaving me
In the God-awful bottle
A model of heartache and grief
(Chorus)
