Crawl Lyrics

Waking up zeroed in on medicine
Am I waking up at all today
Seeing lights, feeling pain
There's my cure on ice
I can walk but I will crawl there
I will crawl there
Sitting straight, feeling faint
An exhausted smile screens my words
But I...

    Alcoholism/getting away from the people that influence it

    Waking up zeroed in on medicine
    Am I waking up at all today
    (waking up hung over debating getting up
    wanting another drink feel better)

    Seeing lights, feeling pain
    There's my cure on ice
    (the pain is the light blinding drunk eyes
    the cure on ice is the hair of the dog)

    I can walk but I will crawl there
    I will crawl there
    (can walk but it's safer to crawl in case he falls)

    Sitting straight, feeling faint
    (sitting up dunk and hungry is a struggle or going through withdrawls)

    An exhausted smile screens my words
    But I will hear them
    (the exhausted smile is the lies telling people "i'm fine...")

    Here's a phrase that we all know
    But I can't make sense
    I don't know words but I will hear them
    I still hear them
    (the phrase we all know is "i'm going to stop drinking" an intervention is not knowing the words but still hearing them)

    Never ran away for the sake of scars
    Tried not to move but she was armed
    (never say no to a drink no matter how much you want to)

    And shots were fired
    Now a hole in the head of this wounded liar
    (shots from the bottle til i's gone and remembering what happened afterwards)

    Never had a drink that I didn't like
    Got a taste of you, threw up all night
    (doesn't matter what it is all alcohol will be drunk until I get so drunk I thew up everything)

    I got more sick
    With every sour second rate kiss
    (every drink makes me more sick than I was before)

    Everything I never would miss again
    I don't know who your boyfriend is
    (not missing the feeling after a night of drinking and finally stop drinking)
