The world's longest drunk text
[This piece has been in the works for much longer than most things I write, which makes it feel a bit sporadic and incoherent in my opinion. However, I feel like that fits the context]
I got 99 problems drowned out in that 80 proof
And your phone rings cuz there's like four things I had to say to you
On my stumble back home, my face a shade of blue
And I wish I could get my number back from that girl that I gave it to
Cuz I know she's just a plug for the area that's been sinking
That you had left with me and that's why you got me drinking
Now it's Evan Williams or some Jack Daniels and a little Coke
Hoping I can fake forget how you left me a little broke
Because what I thought was serious you saw as a little joke
Thought I felt a spark but soon it was up in smoke, damn
Now I'm a bit choked up
Bout to throw stuff
You can watch me go nuts
I miss your Crosley vinyl player and that one record that skips
Woke up without you and thought damn all that effort for this?
And I know that it's your birthday so you got a new dude in bed with you
But I fucked last night just to stay a step ahead of you
I used to catch you smiling and you'd say it was about me
Now I know you're smiling and it hurts cuz it's without me
So I'll just tuck myself in and forget it until tomorrow
When I wake up and crack another bottle for the sorrow
