The Boy Who Drowned It All In Liquor Lyrics by Lee Viab

Photos In The Yearbook

2022

[Verse 1]
His crazy eyes are filled with kindness and sorrow
He’s learned the wrong lesson
He thought he’d found out how to be loved
His mine is abandoned, although it is full of gold
He found one part of himself
But buried the other
[Pre-Chorus]
How hard it’s to get up without the helping hand
How hard it’s to be right when everyone around is wrong
How hard it is to learn when mentors do not understand
That they can’t make this boy get rid of his soul
They just put out the fire of his interests and passions
They just made him be the ice to hide the ashes
He’s handled it all, but can you see the price?
He has to fill himself with ice to dissolve his own lies
[Chorus]
How rude it was to make the ocean feel like a puddle
To make the diamond fade by hiding it in a huddle
The swimming pool is deep and bitter
He filled it with his tears and glitter
The boy who drowned it all in liquor
[Verse 2]
And he hates all the phrases that try to make him happier but only break him more
And all the sweet kisses burn him like the fire in the box
And he is trapped in his disbelief by this wooden floor
By these memories and relatives, and bites by fox
[Pre-Chorus]
How hard it’s to get up without the helping hand
How hard it’s to be right when everyone around is wrong
How hard it is to learn when mentors do not understand
That they can’t make this boy get rid of his soul
They just put out the fire of his interests and passions
They just made him be the ice to hide the ashes
He’s handled it all, but can you see the price?
He has to fill himself with ice to dissolve the lies
[Chorus]
How rude it was to make the ocean feel like a puddle
To make the diamond fade by hiding it in a huddle
The swimming pool is deep and bitter
He filled it with his tears and glitter
The boy who drowned it all in liquor
[Bridge]
Eternal hangover is masked by eternal intoxication
The happiness and desperation walks the same roads
When everyone you love (backing vocals: dad, girlfriend, friends, mom, God and blood) makes their lines a donation
It’s a foundation of isolation
And these lines leave the cuts that turn into the scars and poisonous thoughts
That liquor never cures
[Chorus]
How rude it was to make the ocean feel like a puddle
To make the diamond fade by hiding it in a huddle
The swimming pool is deep and bitter
He filled it with his tears and glitter
The boy who drowned it all in liquor
