lyrics

Might As Well

I might as well be drinking, as to feel this way
Might as go out, blow off the rest of the day
I’m sick and tired, of my company
I need to put some distance, between myself and me

I feel absurd, my vision’s blurred, my fingers feel like wood
My attention span’s doing what it can, I wish I understood
What I’m supposed to do here, don’t want to sit and whinge
Unproductive self-pity, it only makes me cringe
Just thinking about thinking, seems like a bit of a wank
I couldn’t break these walls down, if I had a tank

I might as well be sober, if booze won’t get me off
I rolled up a reefer, it only made me cough
There ain’t no substance that I could abuse
That could get me out of, my own two shoes

I feel absurd, my vision’s blurred, my fingers feel like wood
My attention span’s doing what it can, I wish I understood
What do I have to add to my recipe?
When I add two & two, all I get is three.
