Sugar-Free Cough Syrup
Sugar free cough syrup,
Cheers to The Poor Man's Angel Dust,
And with a bit of luck,
Maybe I won't find myself stuck
Running circles through my head.
Funny how it's when I live that I wish I were dead.
Sugar free cough syrup,
Cheers to a cheap smile.
I find our time spent together to be
Less than worthwhile.
Let's spend some more together,
Just in case I wind up alone again.
It's winter so there are no parties going on tonight,
But goddammit, partying is the only thing I want to do right now.
Tell me, when was the last time that I searched for your face among the crowd,
A beer in my hand,
Still a long way from the top.
Breathe in me and
Then breathe out you,
Feel my heat inside your lungs,
And show me how to feel like I'm actually in this moment.
Kiss my chest a little softer,
Suck my neck a little harder,
Leave these bruises to guilt trip me for days to come,
And I can go home and drink some more
Sugar free cough syrup.
It's like saying hi to an old friend,
Except it's a little bit more welcoming.
Make me feel like I'm seeing me from the outside,
Instead of wallowing in my own pride.
That stupid little thing that blinds me.
Sugar free cough syrup,
You suck me in and wrap me up,
A warm blanket that shrouds my problems from my own cynicism,
So for the next six hours I can be okay.
Feel myself just melt away,
It's winter so most of my friends are working right now,
But I don't work, and no matter how much I wish I could go out,
I still don't have a car,
So I'll sit at home a while longer,
Sipping on this drink made of dextromethorphine,
Singing to myself that maybe one day when I'm old and aging,
I can find a better place to sit alone,
And find none but myself comforting.
