lyrics

My desire is like a fire
I get high, it rages higher
Like the summit of a spire
From which I can’t come down

And I ride the tides of hunger
And it’s swim or be swept under
But I’ve got this sinking feeling
And I don’t want to drown

Was flying at first and then falling
Just spiralling down for so long
I crashed and the pain was appalling
Now everything only feels wrong

Oh darling I drank me a river
And I‘ve given all I can give
I’m left with this ache in my liver
I just want my liver to live

But still I’ll drink until I’m drowned
Until I’m splayed upon the ground
And have myself another round
And have myself another round

I’m flailing hard with every limb
But still I cannot keep afloat
Have I forgotten how to swim
Won’t someone please throw me a rope

Swept out on an alcohol river
Now I‘ve given all I can give
I’m left with this ache in my liver
I just want my liver to live

Was flying at first and then falling
Just spiralling down for so long
I crashed and the pain was appalling
Now everything only feels wrong

Oh darling I drank me a river
And I‘ve given all I can give
I’m left with this ache in my liver
I just want my liver to live

But still I’ll drink until I’m drowned
Until I’m splayed upon the ground
And have myself another round
And have myself another round

Drink ‘till I’m drowned
Upon the ground
Have myself
Another round

Drink ‘till I’m drowned
Upon the ground
Have myself
Another round

Another round
Drink
Drowned
Ground
Down
Down
Down

Another round
Drink
Drowned
Ground
Down
Down
Down
Down
Drowned
