Daydrunk

Daydrunk

Is what I wanna be

When I’m tired of being seen

Daydrunk

Is what I wanna be

When I’m tired of being seen

I’m seen in my house

I’m seen in my town

I’m seen, I show up, I’m responsible

I wanna blow it out

But daydrunk is what I used to be

No Jimmy Buffet song

No island imagery

Old men

Dying retirees

Bellies on the bar

Elbows up with me

I was 25

I was terrified

Locking stalls, cleaning lines off the toilet seats

Afraid of running out

You are the drill, you are the test

The big inviting nothingness

The parachute, the great escape

From "comatose" to "wide-awake"

You are the drill, you are the test

The big inviting nothingness

The parachute, the great escape

From some place to any place

Alone in my house

The threat in my mouth

The lie that looks true when my life’s too good

I gotta lay it out

Daydrunk

Is what I wanna be

When I’m tired of being free

Daydrunk

Is what I wanna be

When I’m tired of being free
