This One's On Me

about

I wrote this song after driving home one night after drinking heavily. Featured on the E.P. "The Devil Is In The Details".

lyrics

I never used to believe in mental disorders
But this anxiety has got me cornered
I'm getting loaded just to cope, pour it right down my throat
Pass out on the floor, then wake up for some more
It's the same routine day in, day out
Wake up, pass out, have a drink to get my mind off things
These fucking problems can swim
Keeping their heads above the surface, making it impossible to focus
And drown these sorrows, never to be heard from again
My initial intention, my plan's been foiled goddammit all
I swear this is my last call, I'll quit, start over
And be reborn into a better person

This one's on me
After this I have to pay my tab and leave
I've had enough of this scenery
I find it hard to breath
It seems I'm drowning myself rather than my worries
This one's on me
Don't believe what you see is the true me
I've kept you in the dark to hide my grief
So when I step out into the light
Be prepared for anything that you might see

I have to say, if I had my way
I'd been dead and buried in my grave that same day
Because here I am trying to prove a point
That's been long forgotten, it's no longer valid
I'd give up everything just to say I have nothing left to lose
Now what am I supposed to do, I've got nothing left to lose
No substances to effectively abuse to get my mind of you

Now this one's on you
It probably is, if it's too good to be true
And you have failed to pull through
Comparing lies to truth
Both can be hard to identify and be easily confused
So this one's on you
To forget that the next one's on me
And when you hear me say this, you better believe
I don't know why but I'm hypnotized by the look in your eyes
And I've apologized but you see
This one's on me
