Help Me Drown

I think I’m goin’ down
In this alcohol I might drown
It’s the only thing that brings me up
So be a sport and fill my cup

Get me a drink
Before I sink
Any farther down
Help me drown

You say you want to help me
But why can’t you really see
I want this, all of the liquor
I want to black out, to get sicker

Get me a drink
Before I sink
Any farther down
Help me drown

Out of money, need the booze
Don’t help me fight it, I want to lose
So get away, I don’t need you
I’ll be dyin’ anyway in a few

Get me a drink
Before I sink
Any farther down
Help me drown
