Drink

I turned the lamp light on
And the light burned my eyes,
I knocked my water off the desk
I just wish I could get some rest.

I burned the image deep
And it's my newest scar.
I keep feeling all of that pain
But no one will accept the blame.

This would drive me to drinking
If I didn't already
Drink.

The problems I see hurt me
Even when my eyes close to
Blink.

I turned my conscious off
And the pain went away.
I saw the image from before
But all I did was close the door.

I burned my shreds of hope
And now there's nothing left.
I'm numb to the feelings I lost
But were the results worth the cost?

It would drive me to drinking
If I didn't already
Drink.

The problems I see hurt me
Even when my eyes close to
Blink.

I thought words could save the world
And that hope could unite us all
But I was wrong-

Hope is an illusion your mind creates to
Keep
You
From
