Drink
it courses through my mind it burns
covers all the thoughts the yearns
brings me numbness, seeks to tank it
covers grief, a warm soft blanket
clears all thoughts and brings relief
brings surcease to all my needs
the mind is shadowed, quiet'd a bit
agony covered, a brief respite
all thoughts of pain all melancholy
are thrown away, however shallowly
raise a cheer, a hearty shout
to the chemistry effect
to mind's temp' rout
when soul wails, begs dark dampers
to this ye turn, the mind's dark hamper
shriek and gnash and clamor for comfort
but turn to this, and find warm summer
I cling to thee and enter thy place
sobbing, begging, to your embrace
