Sentient Beer Lyrics by Escape from the ZOO

Countin’ Cards

2022

It's time to remove a piece of this puzzle that I've put together with music and drugs
The drug part specifically I know dependent I'll never become who I want
'Cause I got a lot of goals and cirrhosis ain't one of 'em
You're free to pick your poison some are fun I've done a ton of 'em
They've certainly shaped me but I hope they didn't make me the person who I've grown to be
I'm genuinely afraid to change
And I'm aware that it sounds a bit strange and depressing
But booze has been there for me
I'm not prepared to be made now to cope
And I'd like to believe that the art came from me and it wasn't the drugs
But it truly is frightening deep down inside of me I'm not so sure that it was
[Chorus]
Please tell me
That I don't need to be drunk and stoned to be
The person you've all grown to know
Over these past 10 years
Basically a sentient beer
I've been to that point where your body is functioning but you are no longer running the show
And if you're in the same boat I'd like to make certain there's one thing you know
I ain't judgin' if you're weatherin' the storm I will happily give you my rain coat
And I hope that ya make it through trust me it's better to know that your thoughts are your own
And I'd like to believe that the art came from me and it wasn't the drugs
But it truly is frightening deep down inside of me I'm not so sure that it was
[Chorus]
Please tell me
That I don't need to be drunk and stoned to be
The person you've all grown to know
Over these past 10 years
Basically a sentient beer
I've gotta find my self-esteem in some place other than a bottle
(But I've been runnin' on this crutch for so damn long)
You run outta pills so quickly when you've only got one speed and it's full throttle
(If it's the right decision why's it feel so wrong)
Poisons comprise my very soul it seems as we keep getting older we are forced to deem what we see as important partying is always fun self-medicating helped me run box up the toxins I'm so done with feeling weighted sick and dumb and for myself I need to know that I can do this on my own so won't you…..
[Chorus]
Please tell me
That I don't need to be drunk and stoned to be
The person you've all grown to know
Over these past 10 years
Basically a sentient beer
