Dax - Dear Alcohol (Lyrics)

[Intro]
LexNour

[Chorus]
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted

[Verse 1]
Repeat the cycle every day, I gotta start with a drink
My life been getting sorta crazy and I don't wanna think
I look myself right in the mirror and I don't even blink
Then I get angry, take the rest and pour it right in the sink
I know where this road goes
Alcohol ain't my friend, but I keep drinkin' 'cause these demons roam
And follow me 'round everywhere I go
It clouds my mind and soul, it turns my heart cold
But I keep drinkin' 'cause it makes me feel like I'm not alone
I'm havin' problems, my pride won't let me reach out
Lookin' at this bottle, havin' nothin' but doubt
Don't wanna drink, but it keeps comin' around and around and around

[Chorus]
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted

[Verse 2]
I know I need to quit (I need to quit)
I gotta do better (I gotta do better)
Example to these kids (‘Xample to these kids)
'Cause they watchin' when I'm in there, but I'm scared
'Cause I've been chasin' the man that I am when I start to drink
This cocky confident nanny, don't give a damn what you think
This world is beatin' me down, it has pushed me right to the brink
I take a shot every timing 'cause it helps me escape
I'm takin' care of these people, but no one takes care of me
I wanna talk to somebody, but I feel no one relates
I need better now, I think I've lost my way
I'm havin' battles with faith, it's painted right on my face
I hope better times are comin', no chase but I'm still runnin'
I gotta take control, and I won't stop for nothin'
Dear God, this is my attest, promise that I do my best
Just help me with this pain I feel and pressure that is on my chest

[Chorus]
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted
I got wasted 'cause I didn't wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinkin' 'til I'm someone I don't recognize
I got wasted

Dax without a doubt one of those artists who just knows how to tell a story with his music and that is a huge reason why so many of us love him. His newest release Dear Alcohol is as personal as it comes and I hope you all love it

On my 32nd year on this planet I have been through so much stuff that I dont know what my future holds. I get wasted so I dont have to think about all my losses and failures...I know I need to quit but im lost and dont know if I can find my way back back to the right path. To anybody reading this, if you are lost like I am, I tell myself everyday that God has put me here for something....I dont know what that is yet but I cant lose hope because my instincts keep telling me it will get better...idk man life is a trip. I just keep praying and hoping to the man above that he shows me the light and I find my way....never give up

Sober 4 months now, been a hard-core drinker for a long time. Years, found this preview for it on Facebook, felt this man. Reminds me too much of myself. Dig it.

[natronnp]

I don’t think I’ve ever had a song hit me so hard before… I needed to hear this. Thank you Dax for being an inspiration for so many people

[NFN.josh.]

🎙I will be one of the greatest artist of my Generation🌏🔥

[mattjacobs]

Thank you for sharing. This one hit me hard man. I’ve felt the same way. I’m glad you have music as an outlet, I didn’t have that but my kids helped me get through it. Keep up with the music, you’re good and people can relate to your lyrics.

[ghostly_remains]

Beautiful song, I've got so much going on inside and it's hard to deal with and I've always done it sober but fuck man sometimes I drink and get high and not even to feel better but to feel nothing because nothing feels better than this, if anyone else hurts just know I love you and I get it.

[justicewilkins]

Damn... Dax homie idk where I would be rn without your music. Your music I relate to alot thank you for your music bro!!!

[melanieable]

I’ve been there. Could’ve lost everything I love the most. I got scared when I realized that I was choosing to numb my pain over being a good mom. The love for my children saved me. So when I tell them they are the reason that I breathe I really mean it.

[ernesttrevino]

A lot of meaning in this one…appreciate you Dax

[ambermoser]
