you don't struggle against the label
but you drink yourself under the table
try to impress me without getting nude
i've got my fingers crossed and i'm afraid they're glued

you drink more than your mum can afford
your voice is like an off-key guitar chord
your mind inspires symphonies
but your story brings casualties

you're at the point where death is a choice
you're this close to listening to the devil's voice
gather the teeth and strings in a basket
and scatter them over the discarded casket
