Drown your tears out tonight
by the silent screams of your conscience.
Drink. Drink.
Drink your night away,
and forget about those problems that you had.

Take the responsibility of your actions.
Then take a shot and throw it down –
it will make you forget about your problems.
The problems dragging your life into shame –
these problems torturing your soul.
This will all just be a memory of the life you had,
a vivid illusion of the world that surrounded you.
Don’t let this end your life tonight.

Live to what you wanted to be,
Fulfill the dreams you had when you were young,
and played in the playground with your friends,
Fighting over whose house you would go to,
and complaining about how much homework you had.

Now look at yourself,
Drowning yourself out in your tears tonight;
Taking shots to forget about your life –
Trying to be someone else tonight.
