“Wash Away”

 

I poured myself a beer

And now I'm trying to think

On if I want to wash away

My sorrows with a drink

Everything seems so dark

The world is spinning around

Nothing ever works out right

My life is spiraling down

So now I'm going to sit and think

On whether I should take that first drink

So here it goes down my throat

Seems soothing to the soul

Bye – bye sorrows of today

I'll deal with you tomorrow

I don’t want to think about you now

I want you to be gone forever

Life would be so much easier

If I just had the answer            

To the never ending question

Of why I feel this way
