Diary Of An Alcoholic (10 Shots)

作曲：Daniel Nwosu Jr.,Alex Nour

作词：Daniel Nwosu Jr.,Alex Nour

All it takes is one shot to get me feeling myself

And have the devil knocking at my door

All it takes is two shots to numb this pain

Have me thinking I'm fine and I need to drink more

All I need is three shots to take this weight of anxiety

And throw it out and go explore

And buy that fourth shot I'm slurring my words

And don't recognize myself anymore

Buy that fifth and that sixth I'm trippin'

And by that seventh I know I gotta take eight

Nine shots means I'm getting home real late

And ten shots is all that it takes

To have a night I won't remember

Life's a ***** and it's probably 'cause I upset her

We get one but the F.O.M.O

from missing fun

Will have me looking back later wishing I treated her better

My future self's screaming whenever I take a sip

Telling me I'm drowning and sinking and can't swim

That I should slow down and stop 'cause somebody might get hit

Like how I should have just stopped at the stop sign I just missed

These spirits taking the happiness out my soul

Jacking Daniel of moments this whiskey's taking a toll

Tequila shots on these rocks I'm dodging trying to avoid

They hit me reopen wounds now I'm drinking to fill a void

This alcoholic story is one I didn't expect

Diary full of pages I'm bleeding on to forget

Paying for all my sins in the currency called regret

The re-spending it on the alcohol knowing it won't help

All it takes is one shot to get me feeling myself

And have the devil knocking at my door

All it takes is two shots to numb this pain

Have me thinking I'm fine and I need to drink more

All I need is three shots to take this weight of anxiety

And throw it out and go explore

And buy that fourth shot I'm slurring my words

And don't recognize myself anymore

Buy that fifth and that sixth I'm trippin'

And by that seventh I know I gotta take eight

Nine shots means I'm getting home real late

And ten shots is all that it takes

I'm not happy with the path that I chose

I water the tree of addiction it's no wonder it grows

I try to picture life sober so I strike me a pose

But the image never develops or it's over-exposed

When I subtract it it gets added to the places I go

If I divide it it multiplies and the sum as a whole

Equals my life falling can't exponentially grow

Because I'm too damn drunk to walk up the slippery slope

Why didn't anybody tell me that alcohol was a **?

That who you are as a man is never enough?

That social drinking and popping bottles in clubs

Is drinking until you die disguised as living it up?

I'm crying in this booth having conversations with God

Starting is so easy quitting is so hard

Praying that I escape find a way out the dark

Feels like I'm in a prison all I'm seeing is bars

Everywhere that I turn everywhere that I look

Water's turning to wine like Jesus did in the book

And the thought of the Bible teaching sobriety got me shook

Because maybe it was a metaphor that I misunderstood

And as I sit here drinking ignoring every call

Looking back on my life moments I can't recall

Haunt me taunt me forced me to crawl

Laugh at my pain pray that I fall

All it takes is one shot to get me feeling myself

And have the devil knocking at my door

All it takes is two shots to numb this pain

Have me thinking I'm fine and I need to drink more

All I need is three shots to take this weight of anxiety

And throw it out and go explore

And buy that fourth shot I'm slurring my words

And don't recognize myself anymore

Buy that fifth and that sixth I'm trippin'

And by that seventh I know I gotta take eight

Nine shots means I'm getting home real late

And ten shots is all that it takes
