Michael Kraun - Day Drinking Lyrics

Verse

World gone mad but I'm a sinner.
My mama so mad that I'm a drinker.
All my best friends are bartenders.
I said all my best friends are bartenders -- wait a minute
It's always last call at the bar when I enter.
Yeah, I'm hardly a beginner.
Yeah, my army is the liquor.
Friends know me better than to invite over for dinner.
Less they got some bottles of whiskey to calm me, I ain't interested.
I walk around the city with my pain honest.
Nah I ain't Rozay but that bottle's got my name on it.
Cause I'm about to be gone like the rainforest.
So I don't keep that green close like a chain wallet.
I find a dame tourist, convince her to pay for it.
Anything to keep my mind focused on not staying focused.
Cause I become a dreamer when I drink.
I know I make mistakes when I don't think.
I turn into a f*ck up in a blink.
Run a faucet of this gin, so I don't sink.
Run a tight ship with a vice grip.
Dodging your advice with a tight lip.
Staying overnight like the night shift.
I'm nice and I write sick.
Life is a tightrope, without booze, I might slip.

Chorus

Honest kid
Got no confidence
God knows where my conscious is

Hook

Cause I've been drinking
All day drinking.
We all stay thinking.
The liquor stay pouring.
The world stay spinning.

Verse

I turn to drinking whenever I feel inadequate.
My greatest fear? Be remembered as average.
But at least I'll be remembered as something.
At least I'd have no memories of having empty discussions.
And at the very least, when the death of me seems to be coming.
I'ma rest in peace and the reason: I regret nothing.
Maybe the bar tabs on nights when I was extra wavy.
The drunk texts I sent to girls, the ones who played me.
The fights I had with old friends who now confess they hate me.
But the liquor brought the truth, and what I question lately
Is do we really need pints of this poison?
To help us in revealing all that our minds are avoiding.
Are we just escaping from how we feel inside for a moment.
In these times of enjoyment, I'm still confined in aloneness.
Blinded and hopeless,
Is my vice a drug disguised as a potion to deny us emotions.
As my stress rises like the tide of the ocean.
The bartender meets my eyes,
(What would you like to order?)

Chorus

Honest kid
Got no confidence
God knows where my conscious is

Hook

Cause I've been drinking
All day drinking.
We all stay thinking.
The liquor stay pouring.
The world stay spinning.

Verse

(I'm sorry, do you know me?)
Not personally, from your song, only,
Talking to the bartender, hoping she'll console me
(Yeah, funny)
I see loners like you wander through these territories.
You forever worry about wasting your time and yet.
It's like you're wasted all the time, no disrespect.
Just saying, it seems like you're always doing that.
I bet you'll tell yourself that you're never coming back.
But you will. You see, the shit you drinking is really just a pill.
A pill to make you feel less or forget just how you feel.
For real, you're best off walking right out of that door.
You're already drunk, think about why you want more.
Nah, f*ck that, you don't need that, it won't heal ya.
Sometimes I go to sleep and wonder if I'm just a drug dealer.
Take from suppliers, provide to the needy.
The liquor make you numb, but I can tell you kind of feel me.
For real, b, all I can say is have a safe commute.
Don't go chasing shots, only chase the truth.
I am not an alchemist, this liquor ain't no potion.
All in moderation, like the waves of the ocean.
The rain keep on flowing,
But I bet your pain ain't going anywhere.
Except deeper down your heart, I am well aware.
The system should be paying alcoholics' Medicare.
They're at rock bottom, and it seems you're getting there.
On some honest shit.
People like you dying every day Alcoholics Anonymous.
Guess I'm responsible as well.
Oh well.
I guess I wish you well
(Wish me well? Wish me well?
I thought that you could help.
Been going through some programs,
And I thought that you could tell.
Who you think you are judging me? Go to hell.)
Hope they don't find you at the bottom of the well.

Chorus

Honest kid
Got no confidence
God knows where my conscious is

Hook

Cause I've been drinking
All day drinking.
We all stay thinking.
The liquor stay pouring.
The world stay spinning.

All day drinking.
We all stay thinking.
The liquor stay pouring.
The world stay spinning.
