I posted a raw bedroom recording in the MP3 forum, but I think I have a near-final lyric. So I wanted to post it for your thoughts and feedback. THanks!

"I Don't Drink"

1.
My heart is my enemy, it only wants what it can’t have
My head’s its accomplice, reasoning reason away
Every thought lingers, I can’t escape its grasp
Only one thing can help me get through this day

So, I don’t drink, because I think it will make the pain go away
I drink, I think, because it makes the pain okay

2.
I’m finding a way to walk straight… enough
I’m fooling my boss and I’m fooling my friends
I’m functioning well enough, at least I am for now
If I couldn’t function, you’d think this all would end

So I don't drink…

(Bridge)
It makes the pain go away
It’s the crutch I just can’t throw away

3.
I crack a bottle and I crack a joke
The cracks in my life are cracked open wide

And I don't drink…
