Drink

Christopher Martin

Drink until you cannot drink
Drink until you cannot think
Drink until you''re fast asleep
Drink until you start to sink

Drink so that you can affect me
Drink so that you can neglect me
Drink so that you can reject me
Drink so that you won''t respect me

Drink so that you won''t feel bad
Drink so that you can be mad
Drink so that you won''t feel sad
Drink until you''re not my dad

Drink so we won''t get along
Drink so you''ll never be wrong
Drink until your heart is gone
Drink until you''ve lost your son

Drink until your spirit moans
Drink away your flesh and bones
Drink because it''s all you know
Drink until you''re all alone

Drink until every drop is dry
Drink to continue living a lie
Drink as life passes you by
Drink until the day you die
