Drunk (Intro) Lyrics by Ettrick Shepherd

Downers

2021

[Hook]
I'm just tryna take it how it comes
The old me is back
Mistakes have now begun
I need a way to make it out this slump
I’m hanging with my mates and now I’m drunk

[Verse 1]
Because this pain is coming at me with the force of eighty thousand guns
My brain is clouded, numb and like a pasty mound of chum
I have dreams of going to the bank and taking out some funds
My financial situation’s fucked
As for my love life, there’s nothing to tell
If Cupid’s real I’ma send that motherfucker to hell
I can’t find anyone who would settle for me
Am I the only lonely one? I’m definitely
In a dark place, you bеtter believе it
All of these years I’ve never been needed
Over the next few, I gotta get my shit together
Change with the weather, maybe learn how to get through
The effects of grief without piss endeavours
I know I’ve been losing control
I need to get back to pursuing my goals
What the fuck did the world do with my soul?
I should sell it off for the loot and some gold
Last winter I lost lots of friends and I will
Not pretend that it’s not the reason
That I started going on lots of benders
Binge drinking to hold off my demons
My life has changed so much, it’s
Like black and red and odds and evens
I managed to keep my pride
But my heart copped a beating
My body is in the same boat
I stopped caring and stopped saying no
Experimenting with the liquor, tobacco and dope
My physical health has been sabotaged
By my mental health and my crappy past
So I’m heading out to get on the piss until after dark

[Hook]
I'm just tryna take it how it comes
The old me is back
Mistakes have now begun
I need a way to make it out this slump
I’m hanging with my mates and now I’m drunk
Cos I'm just tryna take it how it comes
The old me is back
Mistakes have now begun
I need a way to make it out this slump
I’m hanging with my mates and now I’m drunk

[Verse 2]
From hurt and kicked down
To being able to work this shit out
Seems to me like a circus trick now
No way that I'll seize until purpose is found
I'm not gonna lie
Sometimes I feel like the popular guy
Thoughts from my mind they come one at a time
Next minute I'll wish that I wasn't alive
It's hard to say where I've been
If I do tell it'd be embarrassing
I went too far again tryna spark a lasting change
Ways of the past came tearing in
Can't control an impulse
My negative habits they haven't been solved
Guess I'm an addict
I'm destined to have it as a second nature until I get old
