New tune: I Got Drunk.

One of the really crappy things about depression is that is it makes drinking an unhappy affair, most of the time. I mean, for me at least, if I drink too much, I sink, deep. And here's a song about that...


I Got Drunk
Written on The Huntington, The Strat and The Maton, 2/4/2008

I had big plans
Going through my mind
They were truly grand
My favorite kind

I had the whole night
I had plenty of time
I had so many ideas
I poured a glass of wine

And maybe I would write a song
And maybe the world would sing along
Maybe I could finally right some wrongs

But I got drunk 
And you know the rest
Midnight arrived
Like an unwanted guest
Woke me up
So I could go to bed
I went to kill the lights 
But they were already dead

The night was young
Outside there was a wind
I thought it would be fun
To have a sip of gin

And maybe I would call a friend
And maybe I'd figure out how that song ends
And maybe there were things I would finally comprehend

But I got drunk 
And you know the rest
I fell asleep 
While I was still fully dressed
And the TV glowed
In the dark of the night
It woke me up 
Not a pretty sight

(MIDDLE 8)

And tell me why
I believe in my own lies
Just tell me why
I can't see through my disguise
Tell me why
I fail every time
Just tell me why
These words even have to rhyme

And right now I'm gettin' drunk
And you know the rest
I'll wake up in the night
Having failed the test
I'll wake to sleep
And I'll take my waking slow
I seem to learn by going
Where no one should have to go
