about

A lo-fi lonely song.

lyrics

Another night
Another bar
Another wasted brain cell
On a useless memory
Why do I come here
I ask myself every time
Supporting this business
That makes money off loitering

I had to leave the house
I had to see the sky
But it was too dark and cold out
Besides everything else was closed
Decided to go
Where I don't know anyone
Sit down at the bar and order
Double anything

Chorus:
I came here to drink alone
Sometimes that's all you got
Sometimes your friends don't know
Or else they know all too well
I don't know which one's worse
But I don't need wisdom now
Nor do I need advice
Or camaraderie no
I just need to drink
Alone

Had to go some place
Where it ain't necessary
To put on an act
Or to let one act slip away
Or wish for the power to say
No, I don't want to hear a poem
Or I have to go home
I've been here too long already

Bartender just looks at me
You're a problem I've seen before
But I won't cause trouble
I came here to disappear
Try not to seem noticeably drunk
So he'll keep on pouring drinks
Ignore dirty old men and then spend
All my money loitering

Chorus

Five o'clock in the morning
I stumble through my front door
Fingers are numb
I dropped my keys in the snow
It's harder to see now
But sleeping is easier
Got nothing solved
But I guess that's just how it goes
