Highs & Lows - Prose

Raise a glass high to a night we won’t remember

Singing like we got the pipes so that we don’t pretend to

So be the day that we die, Drinks lifted overhead ya

Recollect on the times when we had no agenda

Overstepping the line, we didn’t have no receptor

The hazy glaze in my eyes shows that I don’t respect her

She goes crazy and cries, she should’ve known me better

She just tells me it’s lies when I say I won’t forget her

The drugs are clouding my vision I can’t see now for a fact

When people stood around me shouting out from the back

This guy’s looking at me like he’s about to attack

And I just stumble around wondering how to react

I keep knocking em back, get a round for the lads

The sound of a song shoots me down in my tracks

A small piece of my mind flies up from my past

Keep my feelings locked down as I drown in my glass

Oh, I wanna drown my sorrows

Tie em to a rock and then

Throw them as far as I can

Oh, I, I wanna drown my sorrow

So tomorrow, I can breathe

Again

I’m feeling numb from that liquor I drank

I reassure myself that it’s the mission at hand

Went to dive into my glass, instead of swimming I sank

My shoes are full of stones, my feet sink to the bank

I’m bringing everyone around me down into my plans

I guess I need company for my misery and

I’ve been sick of my pants, I think my liver is shrank

I’m crying out to the lord, instead of giving him thanks

Saying secrets, things about me I don’t like to be heard

Not only digging my grave, I’m providing the dirt

Everybody dances past me they go by in a blur

I sit and think of all the times I’d have to try and reverse

Take mistakes back, then there’s ones I’d like to reserve

Keep em bottled up and let em stay and hide and reserve

I’m telling people that I’m fine but don’t rely on my word

Inside I’m crying, guess I’m frightened, the anxiety hurts

Oh, I wanna drown my sorrows

Tie em to a rock and then

Throw them as far as I can

Oh, I, I wanna drown my sorrow

So tomorrow, I can breathe

Again

I’m trying to chat to girls but sounding stupid as hell

Not making any sense, just make a fool of myself

Standing on a table dancing like I’m doing it well

And then I blame it on my shoes as an excuse when I fell

Trying to pretend I couldn’t do it it helped

I try to get up, my legs don’t know what to do with themselves

The attention that I seek will be my ruin as well

When I crumble, and they’ll see me do it I’m out

They won’t serve me at the bar, they’ll say I’ve had enough

So I’ll tell em what I think and he asks me to leave

I won’t stand, so the bouncers come and drag me up

And I’m kicking and shouting while they’re just laughing at me

Now I’m starting to streak, scramble back to my feet

Mad at my friends, 'cause they don’t answer when I rang em in need

And I’m scrapping with some randomer who’s acting as me

Wind up laying on our bellies as we chat to police

Oh, I wanna drown my sorrows

Tie em to a rock and then

Throw them as far as I can

Oh, I, I wanna drown my sorrow

So tomorrow, I can breathe

Again

Oh, I wanna drown my sorrows

Tie em to a rock and then

Throw them as far as I can

Oh, I, I wanna drown my sorrow

So tomorrow, I can breathe

Again
