Government Warning


bloodshot and bleary these old eyes have seen too much 
as the bottles add up i'm losing touch 
trying to let go, because it hurts to hold 
it isn't getting better, its been bad for so long 

shattering bottles to take off the edge 
i've fucked up again and my whole life's a wreck 
i cant stand this fucking shit life i've created 
its off to the corner store to get self medicated 

drinking the piss to save money hard up for cash 
but i gotta get trashed its the only way 
i can stand to face another day, ill fucking throw it away 

drinking the swill to save money, hard up for cash 
but i gotta get fucked up 
cant face my family, no one can stand me, i throw it away 

the bottles my only friend when my whole life feels so low 
theres only one way to let go 
because each little instance it all seems so mocking 
ill drink my while like away and no one will stop me 

i never sleep anymore, and i'm so lethargic 
i cant stop this runaway freight train i've started 
and i wouldn't if i could because i hate being sober 
i just got fucking started and its already over 

the pressure keeps building it never relents 
i gotta get wrecked or ill never forget 
sometimes it seems like the bottle is my only friend 
at the bottom is the salvation thats i'm drowning in 
throw it away
