Thirsty sorrow
Cracking open another can
I hear the hiss from inside
The excitement that the drink holds
Knowing where it is going
Tasting the sweetness
That lies within
Gulping a mouth full
Then another
I feel it deep within
No thirst do I really have
But sorrow deep inside
I drink not for the taste
Not even for the thirst
Simply for the numbness
Suppressing all my thoughts
How many cans
Shall it take
To quench this
Thirsty sorrow
I hear the hiss from inside
The excitement that the drink holds
Knowing where it is going
Tasting the sweetness
That lies within
Gulping a mouth full
Then another
I feel it deep within
No thirst do I really have
But sorrow deep inside
I drink not for the taste
Not even for the thirst
Simply for the numbness
Suppressing all my thoughts
How many cans
Shall it take
To quench this
Thirsty sorrow
