10 Shots - Dax.mp3

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Daniel Nwosu Jr./Alex Nour
[00:19.419]All it takes is one shot to get me feeling myself and have the devil knocking at my door
[00:24.509]All it takes is two shots to numb this pain, have me thinking I'm fine and I need to drink more
[00:29.416]All I need is three shots to take this weight of anxiety and throw it out and go explore
[00:34.044]And by that fourth shot I'm slurring my words and don't recognize myself anymore
[00:38.964]By that fifth and that sixth I'm trippin' and by that seventh I know I gotta take eight
[00:44.119]Nine shots means I'm getting home real late and ten shots is all that it takes...
[00:51.000]...To have a night I won't remember
[00:53.017]Life's a bitch and it's probably 'cause I upset her
[00:55.434]We get one but the F.O.M.O. from missing fun will have me looking back later wishing I treated her better
[01:00.000]My future self's screaming whenever I take a sip
[01:02.742]Telling me I'm drowning and sinking and can't swim
[01:05.223]That I should slow down and stop 'cause somebody might get hit
[01:07.787]Like how I should have just stopped at the stop sign I just missed
[01:10.304]These spirits taking the happiness out my soul
[01:12.000]Jacking Daniel of moments this whiskey's taking a toll
[01:15.000]Tequila shots on these rocks I'm dodging trying to avoid
[01:17.855]They hit me reopen wounds now I'm drinking to fill a void
[01:20.403]This alcoholic story is one I didn't expect
[01:23.130]Diary full of pages I'm bleeding on to forget
[01:25.416]Paying for all my sins in the currency called regret
[01:27.965]The re-spending it on the alcohol knowing it won't help
[01:30.303]All it takes is one shot to get me feeling myself and have the devil knocking at my door
[01:34.982]All it takes is two shots to numb this pain, have me thinking I'm fine and I need to drink more
[01:40.082]All I need is three shots to take this weight of anxiety and throw it out and go explore
[01:45.059]And by that fourth shot I'm slurring my words and don't recognize myself anymore
[01:50.116]By that fifth and that sixth I'm trippin' and by that seventh I know I gotta take eight(I know)
[01:55.392]Nine shots means I'm getting home real late and ten shots is all that it takes
[02:01.196]I'm not happy with the path that I chose
[02:03.243]I water the tree of addiction, it's no wonder it grows
[02:05.830]I try to picture life sober, so I strike me a pose
[02:08.344]But the image never develops or it's over-exposed
[02:11.070]When I subtract it, it gets added to the places I go
[02:13.394]If I divide it, it multiplies and the sum as a whole
[02:15.641]Equals my life falling can't exponentially grow
[02:18.168]Because I'm too damn drunk to walk up the slippery slope
[02:20.661]Why didn't anybody tell me that alcohol was a drug -
[02:23.172]That who you are as a man is never enough?
[02:25.941]That social drinking and popping bottles in clubs
[02:28.455]Is drinking until you die disguised as living it up?
[02:30.654]I'm crying in this booth having conversations with God
[02:33.847]Starting is so easy, quitting is so hard
[02:36.287]Praying that I escape, find a way out the dark
[02:38.614]Feels like I'm in a prison, all I'm seeing is bars
[02:41.480]Everywhere that I turn, everywhere that I look
[02:43.802]Water's turning to wine like Jesus did in the book
[02:46.328]And the thought of the Bible teaching sobriety got me shook
[02:48.876]Because maybe it was a metaphor that I misunderstood
[02:50.621]And as I sit here drinking, ignoring every call
[02:53.899]Looking back on my life, moments I can't recall
[02:56.375]Haunt me, taunt me, forced me to crawl
[02:58.944]Laugh at my pain, pray that I fall...
[03:01.441]All it takes is one shot to get me feeling myself and have the devil knocking at my door
[03:05.971]All it takes is two shots to numb this pain, have me thinking I'm fine and I need to drink more
[03:11.072]All I need is three shots to take this weight of anxiety and throw it out and go explore
[03:16.004]And by that fourth shot I'm slurring my words and don't recognize myself anymore
[03:20.948]By that fifth and that sixth I'm trippin' and by that seventh I know I gotta take eight
[03:26.122]Nine shots means I'm getting home real late and ten shots is all that it takes.
[03:33.035]"I gotta make a change..."
[03:36.300]"Not only for myself but..."
[03:38.201]"...For the people I love."
