A Drinking Game

from Novelty by Kitsch

lyrics

I was born a complication
Interrupted the doctor's winter break
Since then I've been thinking
Of all the time that I waste
And I've got me a good friend
She says "You don't learn nothing from the truth"
You just keep on pretending that that's
A home you go back to

What a sad, short life-line
But if only my dreams could count
As some kind of proof that
I did all that I could

I've been really good at living in a suitcase
And out of my head
I was such a lonely child
I was such a lonely child
Now I'm cold, selfish and sterile
You learn to turn your back just
Like this world is going to do

And yes it's a real shitty feeling
But if by cheating I could make it too
You're damn right I'd take my chances too

Got one lead foot held-fast in the grave
And the other one's heel is stuck
Spinning in the same damn place
Got one lead food held-fast in the grave
And the other one's turned green
Guess we're going to have to amputate
I've got no energy left for to reminisce
So my memory's all muddled
Can't tell my sorrows from my bliss
I wish sometimes I'd perfectly align
With the daily horoscopes
Which I read from time to time
Really think I should just shut up
And let all of life's simple things
Just smooth my rough edges out
There's not enough alcohol
In the world to manage this
This feverish head-trap
of consciousness
And the sparrow caught in the undercurrent cries:
"There's gotta be something better than this!"

Open my eyes
Got to live just
Long enough to make
One more to-do list
This time I swear
This time I swear
I swear
I swear
I'll get through this
