Lyrics for Reasons I Drink
These are the reasons I drink The reasons I tell everybody I'm fine Even though I am not These are the reasons I overdo it I have been working since I can remember Since I was single digits Now Even though I've been busted I don't know where to draw the line 'Cause that groove has gotten so deep And nothing can give reprieve like they do Nothing can give a break for this soldier like they do Here we are I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong One more hit It feels so helpful in my need for respite And here are the reasons I eat Reasons I feel everything so deeply When I'm not medicated And so that's it, I am buying a Lamborghini To make up for these habits To survive this sick industry Nothing can give reprieve like they do Nothing can give me a break from this torture like they do Here we are I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong One more sip It feels so helpful in my need for some long overdue respite And these are the reasons I don't even think I would quit And these are the reasons I can't even see straight, and And these are the ones whom I know it so deeply affects And I am left wondering how I would function without it Here we are I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong One more rip I go from one lilypad to another to stay lit
