about

Written about my dealings with alcohol and depression and the stress it put my mother through.

lyrics

The Rescue

so i was rapidly sinking
into the quick-sand of drinking
Just to stop thinking
about suicide
Thank god my mother was stubborn
She raided the cupboards
She left me exposed
I couldn't hide
This made me battle my demons
Declare war on my feelings
My four walls and my ceiling
Stared back at me
I judged myself for just living
All taking, no giving
No time for forgiving
No need to be

No need for me

If I collected my empties
Would they let new memories begin
Then I could scrape off the dirt
Pretend that it hurts, to draw you in
And i'm really sorry for being
That strange sour feeling you had to know
Instead of being a flavour
that you'd want to savour, I should go
No Need for me
You looked at me crying
Your first born was trying to kill himself
There is no joy in, avoiding the poison
He used to escape his hell
No yelling or swearing
Just begging to please put the bottle down
My mother she hugged me
The sound of my crying the only sound
She rescued me
