I Drink Alone

I drink alone
And drown in sins
That I can't disown
I frown upon
The path I hath gone
The booze kills thee
And thee within me
In woe forlorn
So I drink alone

I drink alone, I drink alone
I drink alone, I drink alone

I'm whiskey bent, hellbound, fool-crowned
A lot of love I lost, a lot of lust I found
But the ones that I loved never stuck around
Her heart was closed, her legs were not
Her cheating heart, made mine stop
(The) bed can be filled with anyone
The heart does not (so) we stay alone
Spit upon and cheated on, so I tried to carry on
Tried to slay bad dreams away
The echoes of her love's decay
I hear the bells that call for me
I crave their sound like once I craved thee

I drink alone
Curse your cologne
That once you hath worn
(It) lingers adorn
On my skin as thorn
So I shall mourn
Your treacherous scorn
My love's stillborn
So I drink alone

I was somewhen, you went somewhere
And in the end, we got nowhere
I killed more than I received
I thought I've won, but self-deceived
I chose the booze, and then myself
And put the pain upon a shelf
Alas, do not drink to forget
It sinks just deeper into you
If I cannot be close to you
I'll settle for the ghost of you
For how much longer I've to live
To forget, to forgive?
The less I know, in peace I sleep
The less I feel, the less I weep
(I) know what I know, nothing that is
For all that I know, ignorance is bliss

I drink alone
And drown in sins
That I can't disown
I frown upon
The path I hath gone
The booze kills thee
And thee within me
I'll be reborn
So I drink alone
