Just a drink to make it through this riot
To escape the brutality of the never-ending quiet
Just a drink to make it all seem okay
To leave me thinking of better things than today
Just a drink to block out the sadness
To calm down the world and lead me to darkness
Just a drink to stop thinking these thoughts
To numb my mind and undo all the knots
Just a drink to allow me to sleep
And make these tired eyes cease to weep.
