Drinkin'
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.
I had to hate myself
Before I drank myself
To death Inside a week of giving in
And I had to hate myself
Before I drank myself
But somehow I got used to it
I said it's normal
You said it’s over
You said to call me
When you're boring and sober
I said I love you
Your name's in my skin
You said it isn’t cool to glamorize addiction
'Cause I've been drinking
To form a buffer
And we've been keeping
Things from each other
Only I can't keep these problems to myself
Yeah fuck everyone else
I finally hit a wall
Face down in a bathroom stall
Yeah why is life so literal?
And how could you end it all
Just before last call
Yeah I take that shit personal
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
I can't help from being a burden
I can't help myself
I can’t help myself
I can’t help myself from not helping myself yeah when it counts
This is an exercise in apathy
And all the shitty things
It's done for me
