lyrics

Teeth clenched,
but without any resolve
trying to lean up
against the nearest wall
Breathing deeply,
I raise the cup to my lips
and try to force a smile,
I hide from my problems
like this

Surrounded by laughing,
prettied faces
I want to disappear,
leaving no traces
I need an anchor,
a weight in reality
but find instead,
empty facades surrounding me


Alienation, frustration, and regret
Are nothing that this drink
won't help me forget
Swaying around,
into focus and back out
Escaping all of my fears,
self-conciousness and doubt


Just keep laughing,
and putting on that face
cover my scars up
and develope a taste
the flow is going,
and I try to jump in
but if you can't stand up,
it's even harder to swim

I know that even here I don't fit in
never have, never will,
but it's nice to pretend
In the end this doesn't
change who I am
but like everyone here,
tonight I'm hiding from him


Alienation, frustration and regret
nothing one more drink
won't help me to forget
stumbling around,
into focus and back out
avoiding all of my fears,
self-conciousness and doubt


Now eventually I'll wander out
without any plan
but when I go to leave,
I know I'll understand
I'm deluding myself
with this bottle in my hand
and when I wake up tomorrow
I'll still be an empty man
With delusions and dreams
that just seem too far away
but living like this
I'll never reach them anyway


Alienation, frustration and regret
Nothing one more drink
won't help me to forget
stumbling around,
into focus and back out
avoiding my ambitions and surrendering to doubt
