As a recovering addict this song describes it perfectly. That feeling of getting sober and slowly realizing all the things your addicition drove you to do and the helplessness you feel towards the multitude of sins you have almost no memory of, but can feel in the eyes of every person who witnessed them and even in some subconscious level of your own. The hardest part about being sober isnt staying away from the substance for me, but instead dealing with everything i tried to drown away.
I relate to this on a metaphorical level. I’ve never had alcohol (and don’t plan to), but I relate to the theme of making stupid decisions and being haunted by them for the rest of your life. “I been feelin’ this awful since I hit bottom and, said ‘hand me my my shovel, i’m going in!’”
Wonder how I didn’t die This is not my life, I’m no survivor, I only happened to survive Wonder how I sleep at night Well I count pink elephants, blessings, and skeletons Down the days I have left, with one eye open That was me screaming, “Bitch, I am reality” Then stumbling off to lose myself in a brown paper bag 'cause me and Sweet Evan Williams got a date down on Avenue A Staving shakes, scraping change till daybreak Turns out anyone can eat out the trash Then wake up on the freeway mid-crash I was drunk when I made my bed Now with a half-decade hangover I lay down in it What have I done? Don't know what I've said It’s a half-decade hangover, either this, in jail, or dead It’s a half-decade hangover, Jesus Christ, my aching head Waste not, want not borrowed time And lender knows I’ve tried to make you right Give back my life, and if not Take it, 'cause lately I been thinking maybe I could Take it or leave it, if I can’t at least break even, then I’m leaving when I been feelin' this awful since I hit bottom and Said, “Hand me my shovel, I’m going in!” Oh brother, man, you call that recovered? Tripped on a couple steps and collapsed on the stairs Broke my neck on the backs of those I’ve hurt and scared Like it’s a good thing you said, “You’ve got your whole life ahead” Oh great, another half a century to live to regret I’d rather be anybody else instead 'Cause I was drunk when I made my bed Now with a half-decade hangover I lay down in it What have I done? Don't know what I've said It’s a half-decade hangover, either this, in jail, or dead It’s a half-decade hangover, Jesus Christ, my aching head Sober, but so much still hangs over Please believe me when I say that I’ve poured my whole past down the drain Say that a second chance is a chance I can take But I can’t make amends for things I can't remember I can only say I'm sorry and occasionally pray Guess you’ll just have to take my word that I’ve changed After one thousand eight hundred twenty five days I was drunk when I made my bed Now with a half-decade hangover I lay down in it What have I done? Don't know what I've said It’s a half-decade hangover, hand me my ibuprofen It’s a half-decade hangover, Jesus Christ, my aching head
@@Thestuffdoer What exactly is wrong with shipping dragons? I understand if you generally dislike people shipping characters, but that happens in pretty much every existing fandom

A beautiful sequel to The First Step, about picking up the pieces after the damage is done. Somber, powerful, and honest.
love the "manI love being drunk" motif
I FORGOT “MAN I LOVE BEING DRUNK” EXISTED I LOVE THAT SONG REAL‼️‼️
against the kitchen floor used to be my go to song from this album, after giving it a few listens, this song honestly hits just as hard 🙏

Man the reference to old songs caught me so out of guard
percival rustbolt you are insane in the best way possible

This one's really growing on me
Thank you so much for posting all of the lyrics
thank you for fixing it! :)
Wonder how I didn’t die
This is not my life, I’m no survivor, I only happened to survive
Wonder how I sleep at night
Well I count pink elephants, blessings, and skeletons
Down the days I have left, with one eye open
That was me screaming, “Bitch, I am reality”
Then stumbling off to lose myself in a brown paper bag 'cause me and
Sweet Evan Williams got a date down on Avenue A
Staving shakes, scraping change till daybreak
Turns out anyone can eat out the trash
Then wake up on the freeway mid-crash
I was drunk when I made my bed
Now with a half-decade hangover I lay down in it
What have I done? Don't know what I've said
It’s a half-decade hangover, either this, in jail, or dead
It’s a half-decade hangover, Jesus Christ, my aching head
Waste not, want not borrowed time
And lender knows I’ve tried to make you right
Give back my life, and if not
Take it, 'cause lately I been thinking maybe I could
Take it or leave it, if I can’t at least break even, then I’m leaving when
I been feelin' this awful since I hit bottom and
Said, “Hand me my shovel, I’m going in!”
Oh brother, man, you call that recovered?
Tripped on a couple steps and collapsed on the stairs
Broke my neck on the backs of those I’ve hurt and scared
Like it’s a good thing you said, “You’ve got your whole life ahead”
Oh great, another half a century to live to regret
I’d rather be anybody else instead
'Cause I was drunk when I made my bed
Now with a half-decade hangover I lay down in it
What have I done? Don't know what I've said
It’s a half-decade hangover, either this, in jail, or dead
It’s a half-decade hangover, Jesus Christ, my aching head
Sober, but so much still hangs over
Please believe me when I say that I’ve poured my whole past down the drain
Say that a second chance is a chance I can take
But I can’t make amends for things I can't remember
I can only say I'm sorry and occasionally pray
Guess you’ll just have to take my word that I’ve changed
After one thousand eight hundred twenty five days
I was drunk when I made my bed
Now with a half-decade hangover I lay down in it
What have I done? Don't know what I've said
It’s a half-decade hangover, hand me my ibuprofen
It’s a half-decade hangover, Jesus Christ, my aching head
@@spiderham5514 idk I like to scroll while I'm listening so if anyone else does too here it is
T Graham Brown has a good song called WINE INTO WATER 🍷
okay so i don’t know how many people here have even HEARD of wings of fire but like… hailstorm/pyrite anyone?
.....I hate how well this fits
I’ve heard of it, don’t intend to get into it because of the fandom shipping dragons with other dragons.

@FromtheTriangle I just don't like non Canon ships in general, however I don't know what me from months ago was on about
@@ThestuffdoerOkay that's fine then
Camp Here or There reference?
