Until I'm Sober

from Black Light Ambience by Chris Nelson

/

lyrics

Seeking escape from all that has gone wrong
Fighting the urge to be content and go along
This may not be the way that I had it planned
I’ll drink a little more and then I’ll understand
Never fully satisfied where the path has led
I would find it better to turn back time instead
It seems to me this path leads to a dead end
A bitter commend of my time and how its spent

Burn it all down, raze it all to the ground
Walk away and start all over
Turn out the light, replace it with the dark of night
I’ll put it off until I’m sober

There is something deep inside that remains unfulfilled
Some dram from childhood that time has distilled
It seems to me I’m in the wilderness alone
Nothing that will show the way for me to get back home
I thought I know the way and the path was always clear
As wisdom accumulates, confidence will disappear
I made a wrong turn and somehow got off track
Looking all around I can’t see my way back

Burn it all down, raze it all to the ground
Walk away and start all over
Turn out the light, replace it with the dark of night
I’ll put it off until I’m sober
