Lyrics Sentient Beer – Escape From The Zoo
It’s time to remove a piece of this puzzle
That I’ve put together with music and drugs
The drug part specifically I know dependent
I’ll never become who I want
‘Cause I got a lot of goals and cirrhosis ain’t one of ’em
You’re free to pick your poison some are fun I’ve done a ton of ’em
They’ve certainly shaped me
But I hope they didn’t make me the person who I’ve grown to be
I’m genuinely afraid to change
And I’m aware that at times I feel strange and depressing
But booze has been there for me
I’m not prepared to be made now to cope
And I’d like to believe
That the art came from me and it wasn’t the drugs
But it truly is frightening deep down inside of me
I’m not so sure that it was
Please tell me
That I don’t need to be drunk and stoned to be
The person you’ve all grown to know
Over these past ten years
Basically a sentient beer
I’ve been to that point where your body
Is functioning but you are no longer running the show
And if you’re in the same boat I’d like to make
Certain there’s one thing you know
I ain’t judgin’ if you’re weatherin’ the storm
I will happily give you my rain coat
And I hope that ya make it through trust me
It’s better to know that your thoughts are your own
And I’d like to believe
That the art came from me and it wasn’t the drugs
But it truly is frightening deep down inside of me
I’m not so sure that it was
Please tell me
That I don’t need to be drunk and stoned to be
The person you’ve all grown to know
Over these past ten years
Basically a sentient beer
I’ve gotta find my self-esteem
In some place other than a bottle
But I’ve been runnin’ on this crutch for so damn long
You run outta pills so quickly
When you’ve only got one speed and it’s full throttle
If it’s the right decision why’s it feel so wrong
Poisons comprise my very soul
It seems as we keep getting older
We are forced to deem what we see as important
Partying is always fun self-medicating helped me run
Box up the toxins I’m so done
With feeling weighted sick and dumb
And for myself I need to know
That I can do this on my own so won’t you
Please tell me
That I don’t need to be drunk and stoned to be
The person you’ve all grown to know
Over these past ten years
Basically a sentient beer…
