Phix
Dear Alcohol (Mega Remix)
[Intro: Dax]
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted

[Verse 1: RVSHVD]
Ain't gotta turn on the lights, I take a shot in the dark
Going round after round to fill this hole in my heart
And I got nowhere to go when it all falls down
Got nowhere to run when it all runs out
Drowning my sorrows with bottles
Too intoxicated for me to take the high road
Since the whiskey came, I done lost my way
Lost myself in a drink

[Chorus: Dax with ThaGreatWhite]
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted

[Verse 2: ThaGreatWhite]
I can never evеr live without it
The numbness and thе buzz that I get from it
I can never fall asleep without having a sip
So many troubles and so much pain, I can't deal with it
[?]
I keep on drinking, [?]
Depression [?]
I don't wanna deal with myself
I got wasted
[Chorus: Dax]
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted

[Verse 3: ERV ELLO]
I'm passed out and it's like I'm in a war
Life is passing while I'm wasted on the floor
See I've been drowning in a life without no passion
Coping with this drink and I know it's tragic
I wanna feel real life
I want some real kisses, feel the real touch
Find a real Mrs. 'til the fog is gone
With God as my witness, I'ma sober up
I'ma sober up

[Chorus: Dax with ERV ELLO, ERV ELLO, KC Makes Music]
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright (Oh-woah)
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
(I'm five years sober, so this comes from a really raw place
I hope this reaches someone that needs to here it, you're not alone)
I got wasted

[Verse 4: KC Makes Music]
You ever look back to a certain time and try to reminisce
And all you get is little flashes, a piece of the past
And as each year pass, you start to realize that the only thing that last
Is the bottom of a glass, and your friendship’s plastic?
Oh, well, that shit happens
But what about when you can't even make it through the day
And your hands start shaking, your girlfriend left
And your parents pray for your safety?
Not just pray, but the type that would make even atheists feel like it's something to faith
'Cause maybe only God knows what it takes
Maybe only I know how to break it
But I can't 'cause I'm cased in the shell of a man right now
I don't really wanna hear it
Hurt the people that are dearest
And it took my soul, that's why they call it Spirits
[Chorus: Dax with KC Makes Music]
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted

[Verse 5: Phix]
At fourteen, I had my first OJ and Vodka and thought I was so G
But that quickly turned into popping these pills and mixing my drink with the codeine
But then I OD'ed, should have listened when they told me
Now when I drink, I get to sending you these messages just 'cause I'm lonely
And it ain't 'cause I'm wasted, it’s because I'm lost
I need you to call
And I don't know no other way to take away the pain
I'm 'bout to fall

[Chorus: Dax with Phix, Mykesty]
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize (Yeah)
I got wasted (Woah, ayy)

[Verse 6: Mykesty]
And I'm talking about the drink and the bottle
Got a lot of people tryna kill me and my vibe too
I ain't got a tattoo, but I wish I got two
Soon as I get the money and the fame, what about you?
And I'm taken by the drink and the liquor
Tryna put my brain in the game, damn figure
All I do is drink, and drink, and drink, and think
Take like three, four, five in a day, ayy
I got a lot of problems, family problems
Relationship problems, all I gotta do is just solve 'em
Everybody tryna get me all fucked up
Tryna do no drugs, so I fill my cup
With the Hennessey
Prolly on top, lit me up like I'm Faraday
Call me on phone when I'm far away
Yeah, I'm running from my problems
But I know one day I'ma solve 'em
[Chorus: Dax]
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted

[Verse 7: Carly Pearl]
It's a quick high, then a long low
And you call me tryna come home
But I can't be your only remedy
Tryna save you is gonna kill me
So write it down, put it in a song
Hope you pour it out
We’d all feel less alone
Instead of getting wasted
Waste your time making something real
You can turn your waste to power
Helping other people heal, yeah, ohh

[Chorus: Dax, Carly Pearl, Ben Becker]
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight (Yeah, mmm)
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright (Oh-oh, mmm)
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted

[Verse 8: Ben Becker]
I got wasted, shot, then I chased it
Wanted a taste, now it's my night that I'm wasting
It's been happening more and more
Start with one and then I'm pouring four
Now I'm stumbling through the corridor
Crying out for anything except a level head
I've been fighting all these demons, but the spirits put 'em right to bed
I know they'll find me when I feel the hangover
'Cause they don't hate the man I am until he's sober

[Chorus: Dax with Ben Becker, Ben Becker]
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight (Oh)
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted

[Verse 9: Skydxddy]
Just one more shot of whiskey then I'll put the bottle down
The warmth that it provides me is the best that I have found
And I know that it can't kill me 'cause I'm already dead
And I would do anything to drown these thoughts inside my head
I'm messed up, fucked up, and I only disappoint
My mental health doesn't give me much a choice
Drunk in the crowd, getting lost in all the noise
If someone screams and no one hears, do they even have a voice?

[Chorus: Dax with Trippz Michaud]
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted

[Verse 10: Trippz Michaud]
I spent half my life drinkin'
Other half overthinkin'
Blame it on a disposition
And a family full of addiction
Some say it's already written
I guess the first step is admittin'
It's hard being sober and dealing with feelings
But I ain't a quitter, I don't plan on quitting, yeah
Half a bottle got me catching waves
Bring the loud, we gon’ cross fade
Used to buy into being an addict
Until I learned another way
I been finding my balance
Letting go of my malice
Here's a toast to the challenge, yeah

[Chorus: Dax with Trippz Michaud]
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted

[Verse 11: Common Tribe]
Since you've been gone, I've been sipping into my sorrows
One last bottle, then tomorrow I'll be sober, but I
I can’t escape this hole that I've been diggin' in
All my demons fighting wars that I can't really win
So I bite my tongue and hit the wall until I bleed
Trapped in my thoughts until it's hard for me to breathe
And I know it's hard for you to see, but this liquor's got a hold on me, so

[Chorus: Dax with Common Tribe]
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted

[Verse 12: Kaveman Brown]
Look, I'm at the bottom of the bottle again
I be living through a life with a whole lot of sin
And I know I got a problem, I don't try to pretend
I be kicking it with Jack when I don't got a friend
I get wasted
Sippin' a beer, that's how I chase it
Go to the store and cop cases
When I get drunk, I do not pace it
I done blacked out on many occasions
Even though it never feels good on the next day
I'ma still look forward to the next taste
Turning to the bottle when I really need to escape
Even thought I know it's probably leading to my death day
It's a vicious cycle that is genocidal
And it's taken friends and taken many idols
And I know that I really must stop
If I wanna see the day that I'm sittin' on top

[Chorus: Dax]
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted

[Verse 13: Gringo Tha MC]
Had to quit sippin' and get to the money
I'd rather be rich than be numb to the pain
Issues within me, I think no one love me
You tell me it's only inside of my brain
Lied to myself then I try to explain
Drink to forget and get high to maintain
If I quit for good and I try to refrain
Then I gotta admit that I'm drowning in pain
And I don't wanna face it
Rather pour up and get wasted
Straight 'cause I'm trying to taste it
All of my problems would probably get better with time
But I'd rather be drunk than be patient
Why would I chase it?
Love how it hit when I face it
That bottle takes me to places
I need to be when I'm deep in my feelings
I feel like I'm trapped, so I sip to escape it, yeah

[Chorus: Dax]
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted

[Verse 14: Quez]
I told myself I would never ever drink like this again
It's 5 o'clock on the dot, the liquors pulling me in
I'm one more drink from blacking out, so I'ma try to pretend
Like I'm not feeling a buzz, but damn, I'm wasted
The only time I feel alive is when I'm lit as a bitch
I said only one sip, but now I'm faded
I wouldn't be in this position, always feeling like shit
But when the alcohol hits, it feels amazing

[Chorus: Dax with AK]
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted

[Verse 15: AK]
Another bottle to the face
The liquor numbs what I think
Drowning in it, but nobody see it
I'm invisible, I'm gonna sink down
Used to it, I don't know who to call
People care so they ain't viewed to have flaws
Running from myself, but how can nobody see it?
What if the world cut my lights out?
Who would show up to my funeral?
What would it mean if everyone's crying out?
Praying that I'll be at peace in a place they can't see
They'll know me as the quiet one
But time spent on this Earth ain't true to what I wanted
I wish it was all in my head, but—

[Chorus: Dax]
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted

[Verse 16: Kingery]
Kicking myself, got wasted again
Up all night with Jack and Jim
Tryna drown my thoughts running through my mind
Sippin' heartbreak chase with moonshine
Unholstered Glock laid on the table
Day by day, closer to fatal
This open Bible ain't saving me
When it's covered all in this Hennessy
But I pick myself back up
Prayed to God no more liquor in my cup
Hell and back, pull me out the flames
Lord on my side, breaking these chains
See, I never cared what people think
Take my demons, pour 'em down the sink
How I see things now, it ain't the same
When I'm back on track, you gon' know my name

[Chorus: Dax with Hailey Dayton]
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted

[Verse 17: Hailey Dayton]
Can’t run, can’t hide, I do this every time
Don't know where else to go, so I drown my pain and ease my pride
Sitting on that bathroom floor way too many times
Contemplating 'bout my life, 13 Reasons Why, oh, why
(Why) did you have to leave? You were a part of me
Now I drink to grieve the lame that’s deep inside of me
Nothing left to do, but long for you
So I bought a cigarette then I’ll take a shot for you

[Chorus: Dax with TROY]
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted (Oh)

[Verse 18: TROY]
Every time I look in the mirror, all I see, ohh
There's somebody just wondering why they always leave, ooh
Instead of dealing with it and feeling it
I tell myself I don't need someone
When it's all that I need
Oh, deep down, I'm so lonely

[Chorus: Dax with TROY]
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted

[Verse 19: The Outdividuals / Couchlock Studios]
Another generation down like bleach to a family tree
She's telling me to pour it out, stop drowning in fermented company
I gotta flush this trauma, enrich my cells
Stop this tainted sweat from trickling down
I gotta toss away this ancient hell
And keep it far away from my dear child

[Chorus: Dax]
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted

[Verse 20: Landrose]
Look, I think I lost my composure
I think a lot when I'm sober
I try to run away from my thoughts
But I still let the bottle get closer
So I drink every night 'til the mornin'
I'm hoping the glass will provide me some closure
And I don't want breakfast
So I'll leave the apple and just take a shot on the go
And a couple more 'cause I need that
Told my whole family I'm a clean man
So they could stop stressin' and worryin' 'bout me
Even though I know that I relapsed
And I'm tired of the lies now
I need full support and I mean that
So I'm gone now, see you all after rehab, 'cause

[Chorus: Dax]
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted

[Verse 21: Brutha Rick]
Got tired of thinking so I start drinking 'til I was fully loaded and bloated
My words misquoted, I'm wasted and I know it
Inebriation begets alleviation which causes deviation
I'm pacin' with no patients, I'm 'bout to blow it
But self-pity ain't pretty so I crack down
I pick up another drink, put it back down
Instead of drinkin' I'll be thinkin', I'm thinkin' over drinkin'
I'm way too far to let down
No I can't do this on my own
So I come to you 'cause you I got alone

[Chorus: Dax and Brutha Rick, Dax]
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted

[Verse 22: Elias Burbick]
Ooh, I got wasted 'cause these feelings that I got hurt like hell tonight
Got me caught up, can't stop thinking about a paradise
I can't find it (No)
And everybody around me seems to be survivin'
But I, I can't forget the pain that I caused
I try to follow my heart then I’m falling down
I'm hanging out with all these bottles now, so

[Chorus: Dax and Elias Burbick, Dax]
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted

[Verse 23: Xowie]
I'll keep drinkin' 'til I can't find myself
I'm way too wasted couldn't even find my way back home
I couldn't find my way back home
But I still can't find it, I'm drownin' in my thoughts
It just keeps comin' back and I don't know if I will ever get away
Oh, oh

[Chorus: Dax]
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted

[Verse 24: JED]
I've been drinkin', I've been thinkin' 'bout the past
Whiskey on the rocks, don't know where to put my lovin'
Got a mask on thinkin' 'bout the future 'bout to beg God
Know that I be livin' so brash
How to heal my pain even with the lack of focus
This anxiety made me the coldest
And not on purpose
I'm an over-thinker when I'm hurtin'
And when my depression surface
All the bullet holes in my headspace
Kill the ego and my view perfect
No, I never wanna be burnin'
Sippin', sippin' on this bourbon
I be, I be learnin'. I'll be learnin'

[Chorus: Dax]
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted

[Bridge: Muzi Mbuyane]
Guitar Solo

[Chorus: Dax]
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted
