Fall prey to the blizzard head
Wrapped my hand around the glass again
We all thought that I might change as I got older
Fell down and nothing bled
Wrapped in cotton alcohol again
«To the hilt!» I hear from the prick upon my shoulder
Free pour the fruitless thoughts
It’s far too late to talk so much but
Still not giving up though
I wish that I was sober
Forgive me I can’t speak straight
Forgive me I can’t
Forgive me it’s far too late
Choke down the gateway drug
Open the gates, in came the flood, it comes
Like a blush of love, it hits me without warning
Long nights of getting lost
I walk beneath a bridge I don’t know
I need a black suit for tomorrow, I’m in mourning
My love, you should know
The best of me left hours ago, so
Shove a rag into my mouth and let me smolder
Fallout and the damage done
I can’t un-sink the things I’ve sunk
Still not giving up, though I wish that I was sober
Forgive me I can’t speak straight
Forgive me I can’t
Forgive me it’s far too late
Oh come and shake me till I’m dry
Oh I wish that I was sober
Oh come to me and kill the night off
I wish that I was sober
Oh come and shake me till I’m dry
Oh I wish that I was sober
Oh come to me and kill the night off
I wish that I was sober
I am trying get sober. This song always hit me in a way in a way no other song can. I hope that I can make my way there. For others out there that feel the same way, I hope we can get there. I have that disease. I hope to be one of those that break through.
His lyrics spoke to my life so much so that his death feels like a void has been created. Scott my heart breaks every time I hear your voice but I understand that your demons were too much for you and I hope that if there is an afterlife you are singing to the entire universe
In my own private way I have a real connection to this band and this very special dude . Not only the lyrics to his songs but the voice and the band break ! and fill my heart with joy at the same time if that makes any sense . Love you all x thankyou x Dug
