I'm walking down in the basement
I'm leaning on the washing machine
I'm reaching back through a hole
In the wall's insulation
I'm pulling out a bottle of vodka
Replacing that with a pint of Jim Beam
I'm lying down on the floor
Until I feel better
It's morning and I pour myself coffee
I drink it til the kitchen stops shaking
I'm backing out of the driveway
And into creation
And the loving spirit that follows me
Watching helplessly
Will always forgive me
Oh, I want to die alone
With my sympathy beside me
I want to bring down
All those demons who drank with me
Feasting gleefully
On my desperation
I hide all the bottles in places
They find and confront me
With pain in their eyes
And I promise that I'll make some changes
