Cheers In the Morning

Wine wakes me in the morning Dismisses the second cup of coffee Half a bottle is all right at night But, in the morning it’s sinful Twist open liquid courage Sweet shame and temptation I weaken into a sour depression It’s just 13.8% alcohol The noonday a blur away Wine be not be proud You’ll to emptied of pride Till you beg me for more Once I crack you open I find a twisted crutch I lean upon you, not me The morning before Pinot Noir Cheer me with skinless grapes My drunkenness is pressed My thirsty dopamine quenched How do I live without rubies? Start again from the start After temptation is satiated All things whined are believed Wine, I’ve come back full circle I think a better man is drunk Because reality is too much To bear your crutch unsurrendered That’s why I drink you now I drink you down with false hope Or till you break my faith Unsure of sobriety the next morning Mending pride with dependence Accomplishments are fragile One douse of alcohol Burns a year of abstinence To a shameless mourning I'll drink tomorrow's morning Without crutches like today With clean liquid courage Unpickled like this morning
