Delirium Tremens

Why oh why can’t I get to sleep at night?

I’ve got ghosts above my bed

Showing me their faces every time I close my eyes

Until I see myself among the dead

We were always playing with one foot in the grave

If vice don’t kill, I’m gonna live forever

I was simply one more person that I couldn’t save

So now I drink to forget her

And what was it darling, what did I call you?

All my memories are drowned in my bottle

These fucking shakes, I’ve got ‘em where I want ‘em

These tremens, I can’t live without them

There’s a demon living up inside my skin

And whispering sweet nothings to my veins

Says she’ll take a part of me that I won’t even miss

I can watch as I fade away

And I swear it wasn’t me who did those awful things

No matter how many times you saw

Do not look at me, I am broke and I am weak

Most importantly I am already drunk

And what was it darling, what did I call you?

All my memories are drowned in my bottle

These fucking shakes, I got ‘em where I want ‘em

These tremens, I can’t live without them

A ghoul has eaten up my entire past

And burned every bridge I’ve ever made

Now that she is gone, I am too afraid to ask

Which one of us was the fake?

Because my hungers are a pair of wild oxen

Who plow through lives not caring who they harm

Now I wake with a drink in both of my hands

Wondering if I will ever learn

And what was it darling, what did I call you?

All my memories are drowned in my bottle

These fucking shakes, I got ‘em where I want ‘em

These tremens, I can’t live without them

I don’t wanna stop the nightmare

I don’t wanna stop the nightmare

I don’t wanna stop the nightmare

I don’t want to stop my nightmare
