Whiskey 'N Cigarettes
He tried to drown the pain
Demons from his past
Voices from his childhood
Mean drunks in an insane world
Feeling unsafe and
Never good enough
A casualty in hot pursuit
Chased through the years
Malicious demons
Bent on his demise
A vicious cycle of booze
Disintegrating his mind
Tried to stop the voices
The hurt and pain
And make them go away
