Sitting at this bar on another dismal day.
Hoping this drink drowns my dismay.
Gulp! Gulp! Glass empty, yet another joy has gone away.
Excuse bar keep send another one my way.

Nothing seems to fill this void in my heart?
Remedy, alcohol you just have to learn art.
For a long time now my world is dark.
I need a smoke, lighter spark, spark!

No puff, deep drags, hesitant exhale as it burns slow.
I envy this cigarette’s faint glow.
Why I can’t I be floating effortlessly like the smoke I blow?
Never soaring high always stranded in depths so low.

Engaged to misery, she is the girl I’ll be marrying.
Like atlas a world of sorrow I’m carrying
I buried the optimist and I gave up on hoping.
I’ll meet my end of days coping.
