Drunken Lament Lyrics

self-loathing is quaint you told me, showing restraint
now you're gone and i'm lost, in the swells i am tossed
bobbing and choking and losing the fight in the fog
you said, forever...tell me, why can't you stay?

CHORUS:
i'd ride in your pocket all day, but i just don't fit
say the word and i'll change, i'm throwin' a party tonight
i drink more than a sailor on shore
pour the rum in my eyes, tell me no lies

oh, oh-oh-oh, oh oh-oh-oh
drunk since saturday, without you, without restraint.

it still stings where you stung, water swings in my lungs
i'm starving for words that would ration my sadness away.
tell me, forever... tell me you'll come back to stay

REPEAT CHORUS

you were the mermaid for me
til one day you found your feet
leaving me in this god-awful bottle
a model of heartache and grief

REPEAT CHORUS

self-loathing is quaint you told me, showing restraint
now you're gone and i'm lost, in the swells i am tossed
bobbing and choking and losing the fight in the fog
