Rainout - Slowly I Drink Lyrics

God damn
I see you from the corner of the room
The locks on your head got me locked onto you
And my cold friend quenches my nerves
The liquid confidence helps to subserve
For my journey across the room
To say my dumb lines and to smell your perfume
And I can't seem to figure out why
My quadricep muscles just won't comply
And I'm stuck tragically on the brink
Watching your lips as you sip your drink
As you talk to that guy
Slowly I Drink
As my time passes by
Slowly I Drink
And I see you look my way but
Slowly I Drink
As your curls fade away
Slowly I Drink
It seems that I'm bound for disaster
Giving the green light for me to get plastered
As I knock back the last of my Brew
The poison I crave does not follow through
And I stand there thinking to myself
"Is this your life? Man, you're killing yourself"
A cold fire suddenly ignited
A light to make all the troubles shortsighted
As I make my way over to you
I notice the guy that you're talking to
As you talk to that guy
Slowly I Drink
As my time passes by
Slowly I Drink
And I see you look my way but
Slowly I Drink
As your curls fade away
Slowly I Drink
And I stand there stopping dead in my tracks
Feeling my heart as it's cut by an ax
Turning around to walk back to my spot
Hearing your sweet voice just in earshot
A typical night in a cynical place
Plenty of alcohol to help me erase
Any memories that don't need to stay
Forgotten when I wake up the next day
But maybe I'll drink two-or-three less
To remember your curls and your pretty black dress
As you talk to that guy
Slowly I Drink
As my time passes by
Slowly I Drink
And I see you look my way but
Slowly I Drink
As your curls fade away
Slowly I Drink
As you talk to that guy
Slowly I sink
As my time passes by
Slowly I think
And I see you look my way
But I'm on the brink
As your curls fade away
Slowly I drink
