Lyrics

Another day, another night

Each new day and night cycle

Another chance for me to disappoint

Another opportunity to let someone down

I used to just self-medicate

Previously, relied on self-medication

With a bottle of Jack Daniel's and a joint

Using Jack Daniel's and marijuana to cope

Well lately I'll put 3 or 4 away

Lately consuming three or four drinks

And fall asleep by 10 PM

Falling asleep early, possibly due to drinking

I'm wondering if I'll ever see

Reflecting on a past self, more untamed

The animal that I used to be again

Questioning if that wild side will resurface

This body's growing old

The physical body is aging

I'm losing all control

Feeling a loss of command over oneself

I'm one and done, it's not okay

Expressing a sense of being defeated

I just can't make believe

Unable to pretend anymore

This is the real me

Embracing authenticity

These days it's easier to say

Now finding it simpler to refuse

No thanks! I'll do without

Declining offers, choosing abstinence

No thanks!

Repetition of refusal to partake

No thanks!

-

No thanks! I'll do without

-

No thanks!

-

No thanks!

-

No thanks! I'll do without

-

What happened to the days where

-

We'd get fucked up 'til the sun would show its face?

-

Where every drop of alcohol would make sure

-

The good times didn't go to waste

-

Well lately I've been struggling

-

To hold on to what's left of my youth

-

I can't hang like I used to

-

I'm beginning to accept the fucking truth

-

This body's growing old

-

I'm losing all control

-

I'm one and done, it's not okay

-

I just can't make believe

-

This is the real me

-

These days it's easier to say

-

No thanks! I'll do without

-

No thanks!

-

No thanks!

-

No thanks! I'll do without

-

No thanks!

-

No thanks!

-

No thanks! I'll do without

-

No thanks!

-

No thanks!

-

No thanks! I'll do without

-

No thanks!

-

No thanks!

-

No thanks! I'll do without

-

No thanks!

-

No thanks!

-

No thanks! I'll do without

-

No thanks!

-

No thanks!

-

No thanks! I'll do without
