lyrics

He acted so normal until the drinks came around
So polite and quiet, he barely made a sound.
But with a belly full of loud mouth and a head of memories
He'd get so drunk that he couldn't see
Everything that hurt him and what always held him back
So he'd drink and drink, until all he seen was black
It's no way to solve problems but it's a great way to forget
That life goes on even with regret.

And now he digs his grave with everything single drink
he takes
It's his only way to drown out the pain

Well a city's always lonely when you have nowhere to go
He always had a house but he never had a home
A thousand sorrows in every glass
So raise your drink, it's down the hatch

Well they found him in the gutter shortly after last call
He finally hit rock bottom and that isn't far to fall
And dying all alone ain't the greatest way to go
But after such a shitty, he felt right at home
The funeral was real lonely, there was no one there
no one chose to show up because no one really cared.
And after such a life like this
It's no surprise he drank himself to death
