I drink for gladness
I drink for sadness
I drink myself into madness

The numbers on the clock, only numbers they are
The numbers on the calendar, only numbers they are
The days pass as I intake life sixteen ounces at a time
The roads have faded and the voices have silenced

I drink for gladness
I drink for sadness
I drink myself into madness

Where the days go
A place I cannot follow
Home has become a lost concept
The times are ever changing

I drink for gladness
I drink for sadness
I drink myself into madness

Who are you if I am not me
And who I am if I have forgotten
The fire has become dim
And the illumination has faded

I drink for gladness
I drink for sadness
I drink myself into madness
