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…

A complete rewrite:
I don’t drink because I think
It’ll make the pain go away
I drink, I think
Because it makes the pain okay
1.
Falling on the floor and falling on my ass
Not sure I’ll get up this time
Being upright never lasts
Losing all my motivation and losing all my friends
Finding almost nothing
Except the losing never ends
So, I don’t drink...
2.
I don’t have a job and I don’t have cash to spend
All I’ve got is what I don’t want
And what I want is for it all to end
But I just keep on going and I just slide on by
Sliding on my face all day
It hurts, but I don’t cry
Because I don't drink…
(Bridge)
I’m not okay
3.
Falling on the floor again and falling on my face
Why get up, I’ll just fall down
God, I hate this place
So I don't drink…
