Escape from the ZOO
Gurus of Gluttony
[Verse 1]
Knock back some poison fucking gallon at a time
It's socially acceptable, so chug until you're blind
You're the dictionary for addiction
Really can't take it anymore
I'm far too hammered to articulate my words so
My motivation falls away
And I can't remember anything
I've lost another memory
Them problems got me beat
Good and drunk, I gave my best
I'm proud of the good times I had
Don't go away, it's killing me
God, I guess that I'm buyin' another drink
[Chorus]
NO!
I don't want this anymore
An escape from reality for the weak one
With every sip, with every pour
Resent the details and drink a little more
Tightening the stranglehold
All the hate and dependencies have grown so old to me
[Verse 2]
All alone with my thoughts, I'm writhing with tremors
I promise myself that next time I'll remember
The consequence of giving in and diving off the wagon
When I'm so close to kickin' it, I'm back to square one and get
BLACKED OUT!
What do you know, my chips gone
Everybody's pissed off, I can't remember why
I'm sure this ain't the first time
And it's probably not the last
So I'll just hide out from all my problems at the bottom of a glass
[Chorus]
NO!
I don't want this anymore
An escape from reality for the weak one
With every sip, with every pour
Resent the details and drink a little more
Tightening the stranglehold
All the hate and dependencies have grown so old to me
[Verse 3]
My body hurts, I waste away
Relationships are dead again
I'm oblivious to all around
I think I'm gonna I fucking puke
One more lost opportunity
The illusion of impunity
The road is long and sick with rot
I know it but I've had e-fucking-nough!
