Intoxicated Haze - Self Deception

Red labeled holy water

Three sheets til I forget

And I carry on until carried out

This monster in me hasn’t slept

I drown out the demons that mess with my head

Drown out the evil that lays in my bed

Drown them all out when they’re holding my heart

Drown them all now when I’m breaking apart

Oh and every time I promised

Oh I swear I tried my hardest

The further I sink, the more violent I land

The man takes a drink, then the drink takes the man

Oh I swear I tried my hardest

I make art like scars and craters

Counting holes punched through the walls

And I carry on until I’m carried out

The monster in me hears it all

I drown out the demons that mess with my head

Drown out the evil that lays in my bed

Drown them all out when they’re holding my heart

Drown them all now when I’m breaking apart

Oh and every time I promised

Oh I swear I tried my hardest

The further I sink, the more violent I land

The man takes a drink, then the drink takes the man

Oh I swear I tried my hardest

Grant me the serenity

To accept the things I cannot change

Courage to change the things I can

And the wisdom to know the difference

Twelve steps forward and twelve steps back

Self-induced from a paper bag

Twelve steps forward and twelve steps back

Again and again and again and again

And then I flirt with suicide

In my intoxicated haze

These knuckles aren’t a shade of white

Needed in the fight to hold my self-restraint

Oh and every time I promised

Oh I swear I tried my hardest

The further I sink, the more violent I land

The man takes a drink, then the drink takes the man

Oh I swear I tried my hardest

Oh and every time I promised

Oh I swear I tried my hardest
