Drown It Out Again.

Keep drinking it away.
Keep trying to shove it back down again.

The taste is bitter and revolting
But if I don't keep it down
If I can't keep it down
I can't survive.

Glass after glass
It starts to set in

I cannot stop
Even after the burning
Sets my throat on fire
Makes my stomach churn

I am so empty
I long for something real.

Something to wash this all away.

I scream and thrash in the dark
Hurting nothing but myself

As it should be.
I inflict my own suffering
Create my own hell.

Drink until everything goes numb
Until my vision turns to black
As I pray I never wake up.
