Slipping


1 Tequila, 2 Tequila, 3 Tequila, Floor

Why is it you laying by the door

Hearts pouding and popping out of chests

What in the world is going to happen next?

Snow still in your hand while you talk non-sense

What is wrong with you? Do you not have a conscience

Hurting everyone around you while you have your 'fun'

You know what, one day your life is going to be done.

Please stop and go get some help

Have you thought about how everyone else felt?

Going to family parties with powder on your face

What did you do, bake a cake?

Drinks in one hand, who know what in the other

Family trying to prevent you from getting another

You slur your words and act insane

It really is such a shame.

It is your body and you can do whatever

But you can't say we were there for you never.
