Drinking Your Way To Confidence

Drinking Your Way To Confidence

(album: Sad Strange Beautiful Dream - 2015)

I sit on the porch in a dying town
I'm out of my head while I watch the sun go down
There's a dog all alone at the end of the street
He's standing still, staring back at me
Beaten, snarling, scarred and gray
He doesn't say a word but I still hear him say

"You can't hide from your own mind
But I can tell that you've been trying
You're caught between the past and present tense
Drinking your way to confidence"

I stare out at Kansas, it stares back at me
It's all I am, it's all that I can't be
I'm miles from those twisted, dark highways where the cars scream by
But I still hear them say

"You can't hide from your own mind
But I can tell that you've been trying
You're caught between the past and present tense
Drinking your way to confidence"

Living in fear in the land of the free
Threatened by invisible enemies
You've got a sinking feeling that makes you so unsure
They've been saying all you need to do is ignore it
So you take what you get and you can't regret it
It'll swallow you whole if you only let it
They're trying to save you from yourself
You keep saying "Go save somebody else"
Now you're at the edge of your own limitations
So fed up with those old frustrations
And you're still avoiding ancient confrontations
You don't know where you're going or if you care
Dead set on a course to God knows where
You already know you'll move on before you get there
