Is That Why They Drink?


Is that why they drink?

So they don't have to think?

so they can pour all of their troubles down the sink?

 

Is the present so rough?

The transitiion so tough?

They think that they can cure it with clear 'stuff''?

 

Does it hurt that bad?

Does growing make you sad?

Is a adulthood a stage that makes you go mad?

 

Will I face this too?

Without alcohol to numb me through?

Growth to reality to pain. Is this true?
