Each sip you take
You justify
You make excuses as your growl
Each word of ridicule
All this hype for...
WHAT?
No one really cares
As you echo out
Your abuse
As you justify each action
As you take yet another sip
The pain you cover
As you toss out more pain to others
This public display
And hype
Of yet another
Ruse as you growl
Your way yet
Through another drunken stupor
Each one more painful than the last
Yet you justify each one
As you pick up yet another bottle
Just another excuse to
Cover the pain
As you growl
Through the bottle of pain

Is it raining where you live?
