Let Me Drown

Newest life
Ambitions great
Ideas are formed
Upon the slate

You see the flowers bloom day to day
So glad the world was made this way
No need to drown your sorrows
When your life is bright and gay

Early life
Delusions hold
The jaded form
Begins to fold

You see the sun scorch day to day
You wonder why it must be this way
You’re forgetting all your sorrows
And the bottle takes it away

Middle life
The chill sets in
Twisting dreams
Yet to begin

You see the leaves fall day to day
Pity it has to be this way
If drowning sorrow was a faith
Fall to your knees and pray

Later life
The ruined self
Lost in despair
Sat on the shelf

You see the bleak snow day to day
Remember it’s always been this way
Your countless sorrows drag you down
Your hair becoming grey

The last of life
Has walked on by
Last chance has gone
No time to fly

You see the world pass day to day
You’re clinging on but it slips away
Liquor laden sorrows trap
The ruined soul you’ll pay
