hitting the sauce

for fun is fine but when you start sucking the juice to forget then son you got a problem it just makes the whiskers grow darker on the monster's face makes night roll blacker than it really is makes the cock draw deeper back into the belly twists yr finest dream into a crippled little bird that peck brown balls & scratches shit on the edge of yr mind
i could puke up my guts this moment one beer left sunday two shots of port & then tomorrow dt's nothing to live for but the knowledge that if i do live alcohol will always be there somewhere like a sweet pain river floating me on to salvation even if i'm dead in your mind
