I wrote a little song today while reflecting on passing the 5 year sobriety mark over the summer. Most days are great and easy but once and a while I find myself asking one sad but honest question: Can’t I just need it? Without it putting me in the ground? And the answer is always a resounding: No. The best and the worst thing about sobriety is being sober. I’ve written a lot of songs this year that will just sit in a folder on my computer so I figured I may as well just put this one out there before it becomes just another thing I forget about. Stay well my friends. Hope everyone is well.
lyrics
I wake up every morning a sinking pit and a pile of veins
Cut off from the real world and happy in my own little weird way
I keep my mind occupied the best I can and away from my favourite things
I can’t do anything just a little bit so I can’t really do a god damn thing.
Can’t I just need it?
Without it putting me deep into the ground?
Can’t I just need it?
Without it putting me deep into the ground?
Can the lord give me strength to work through all your sins?
Can the weight of the world crumble while it continues to spin?
Can the light i keep hearing about come find me in the dark?
Wrap your knuckles up real tight and give me everything you got.
Can’t I just need it?
Why you gotta give me such a run around?
Can’t I just need it?
Why you gotta give me such a run around?
