Story behind the song
I wrote this song in 1995, when I was a little over 1 year clean and still battling the demons of drug and alcohol addiction. As an update to this song, I've now been clean over ten years straight. But it's still an important part of my life, which is why we re-recorded it for the Wet Dreams and Other Delights EP.
Lyrics
i drink for effect thats okay cos my life is wrecked i drug everyday to keep from screaming cos im slipping away im freaking out because im under duress i cant keep up with all the anger and stress i feel like opening up one of my veins if i cant keep from pouring me down the drain i drink to extremes thats okay cos its one of my dreams i drug cos i dare to close my eyes to this selfmade nightmare it keeps on slipping down over my ears i cant compete with all the pain and the tears cant find a niche within my society so i find rage my only true property im losing my life its no wonder im going under the knife im feeling absurd or something for lack of a better word maybe ill end it all or maybe i wont depends upon whether i stop or i dont ive already done institutions and jail and death awaits me at the end of this trail
