Sober
I want to be sober,
But I need a drink.
I don't want to be awake,
But I can't sleep.
I just want to forget
I want it all out of my head
All of these memories
They all live but I rather them die instead.
When will it end?
Why can't it stop?
I think that I have suffered quite enough.
Just give me a break
Let me cover my face
Let me hide
Please let me breathe.
I don't want to be sober,
I just want to drink away the pain
I just want to fall asleep,
So it can all just go away
I am filled with regret,
Because I was the one who let you in.
All of these battle scars,
Are just a reminder of what you did.
But I'm gonna stay sober,
because I am bigger than this.
