Sorrows Won't Drown Themselves

I'm just sitting in silence watching the waves
Thinking is this all that we have
Don't get me wrong, its pretty as fuck
And cool as shit, but
Is this all that there is?
The sun starts to set, temperature drops
Night approaches, is this all that there can be

So stop thinking, start drinking 'cause
Sorrows won't drown themselves
No, sorrows won't drown themselves
You gotta drink whatever's up on the shelf

The wife's at home cooking a meal for three
The second one isn't me
She believes I'm a drunk, a sorry old fuck
And that I'm too blind to see
I may be a drunk
Drowning in waves of whiskey
But I know that he's better than me

So stop thinking, start drinking 'cause
Sorrows won't drown themselves
No, sorrows won't drown themselves
You gotta drink whatever's up on the shelf

The old man's alive and kicking
He worked hard to put food on the table
My mother's kind, and giving
I guess it's just me who's neurotic unstable
I grew up with a childhood relatively normal
My chemical state's liable

So stop thinking, start drinking 'cause
Sorrows won't drown themselves
No, sorrows won't drown themselves
You gotta drink whatever's up on the shelf

I once had a child, supposedly healthy, complications come and go
She was a gift, a natural athlete
Always would put on a show
Now she's gone, gone with the wind
More likely buried below

So stop thinking, start drinking 'cause
Sorrows won't drown themselves
No, sorrows won't drown themselves
You gotta drink whatever's up on the shelf

Knock back one, knock back two
Knock back three, knock back four
Oh shit, a few more I might hit the the floor
But I'll keep going 'til the early morn'

I'm just sitting in silence watching the waves
Thinking is this all that we have
Is this all that there is?
The sun starts to rise, temperature raises
Daylight approaches
Is this all that there can be
There's more life in me, and
A horizon beyond the sea
No, no, sorrows won't drown themselves
No, no, sorrows won't drown themselves
No, no, sorrows won't drown themselves
You gotta drink whatever's up on the shelf
