Recorded and Mixed by Nuno Gonçalves on February 2014

lyrics

Like an atheist tries to meet god on his deathbed
You try to make amends for all the times you fled
But you might want to grasp a concept
And realize, realize that I don't give a damn.
The whole soul business is just a scam

You can't drink, now drink your way out out of this
You can't drink, now drink your way out out of this
You can numb your mind, pretend you're blind
Dig an even deeper hole but
You can't drink, now drink your way out out of this

How can I forgive and forget
The horrors I've seen with all the places I've been
Life is just a river flowing down to and through you
And I do not want to wake up every morning thinking
It would be better off without you

You can't drink, now drink your way out out of this
You can't drink, now drink your way out out of this
You can pray but life has a funny way
Of catching up to your mistakes
You can't drink, now drink your way out out of this.

You can't drain me.
You can't bring me down.
You can't change me.
