Open my eyes and Open the bottle,
Time for a little drink,
I've been awake five minutes now, I really dont want to think,
Feel the needle sting, as I plunge it straight into my veins,
It's the only way I know, to kill the pain in my brain,
Without it all Baby,
I get the Flashback Blues,
Right back to when, maybe,
I was the girl for you,
I remember your smile in the morning,Your arms around me at night,
I remember when we were happy,When everything felt so right,
When I didn't need the bottle and I didn't need the fix,
When I didn't need to kill the pain, When it was ok to think,
I can't deal with it now baby,
Can't take the Flashback Blues,
'Cause it takes me back to happy days,
Those days right there with you...
So now I'm just killin' time, Tryin' not to think,
Numbin' my brain a little bit more with every little drink,
All I need is the needle, So I can feel that sting,
Try and kill my heart and erase everything,
'Cause thats the only way baby,
To kill the Flashback Blues,
The ones that take me back,
To the days when I had you..

I am very much against using drugs and drinking (just for the record), however; The way you wrote the this is amazing and the line breaks were perfect. Plus, i like the repetitive lines.

I really can relate to this in many ways, though I jsut drink not take drugs too... But I have became to have a somewhat drink problem. I just... feel I need to drink, to get rid of the problems. I find this also reminds me a lot of "Red, Red Wine" by UB40 as it's drinking to forget. Well put.

Thank You this is the first gold I've won ha.
as for the drinking I know exactly what you mean..we feel it gets rid of the problems but it really just puts them on a hotplate and they simmer until they explode and you've got a world of trouble you never knew existed.Hope that everything works out for you and Thank You again
