High Spirits
Embracing Intoxication: Finding Comfort in Chaos
Lyrics
Here's a toast to a night we're soon to forget
Celebrating a night that will be forgotten
The only things we'll remember are the things we'll regret
Anticipating regrets as the only lasting memories
My heart is empty but my glass is half full
Emotionally empty, but seeking solace in alcohol
Got a shot that oughta help me to let loose til I lose control
Using a drink to loosen up and lose control
I'm feeling like a letdown
Feeling like a disappointment
And I know my only hope to cope with the bullshit is to pour it
Recognizing alcohol as a coping mechanism
Down, down, down
Intending to drown sorrows in alcohol until tomorrow
To the bottom of the bottle's where I'll
-Drown, drown, drown all my sorrows 'til tomorrow
-I'll find comfort in feeling numb for a bit
Finding comfort in numbness from continuous drinking
And so I won't stop drinking
Commitment to persistent drinking despite consequences
'Til my world stops spinning around
Drinking until the world stops spinning
Came to on the cold hard floor
Waking up after a wild night, still intoxicated
I'm still drunk (I'm fucked up) from the night before
-On the verge of collapse from a week well wasted
-The urge to relapse is so close I can taste it
Strong temptation to relapse after a wasted week
I'm feeling like a letdown
Feeling like a letdown again
And I know my only hope to cope with all of this shit is to pour it
Reaffirming alcohol as the coping mechanism
Around and around
Continuing the drinking cycle, refusing to be defeated
Another round and I'm down and out
-But not down for the count
-So don't count me out
-So I'll pour it down, down, down
Seeking comfort in numbness at the bottle's bottom
To the bottom of the bottle's where I'll drown, drown, drown
-Til I've found some sort of comfort in feeling numb for a bit
-Guess there's no use fighting it
Accepting the futility of resisting the downward spiral
My life keeps spiraling down
Life constantly deteriorating, drowning in despair
I'll flood my lungs with liquor til I drown
Intending to drown in alcohol to escape life's struggles
In this fucking drunken stupor I call my life
Describing life as a drunken stupor
At least my spirit's high tonight
Despite challenges, maintaining a positive spirit tonight
So I'll drink every drop but it's never enough
Drinking to maintain a high spirit, despite the world's chaos
Cause my world's still spinning around
