i know now dad
i know how it feels
to drink until your heart falls
out, until all thats really left is
what is in the bottles.
i get it now, i see how easy it is to
let everything else fall but what
you feel inside. it's all too clear now
dad, drink until it burns, drink
until theres only that burning and then
nothing else can touch you, nothing can
reach you, nothing is real anymore.
i know now dad, god love you, it took your
death and my lack of living these days
to finally figure it out.
so cheers to you dad...cheers...
and this last round goes to everything we
want to keep but have forgotten how.
