Reasons I Drink (Live at London’s 02 Shepherd’s Bush Empire) Lyrics

[Intro]
This song is called 'Reasons I Drink'

[Verse 1]
These are the reasons I drink
The reasons I tell everybody I'm fine even though I am not
These are the reasons I overdo it
I have been working since I can remember, since I was single digits
Now, even though I've been busted
I don't know where to draw the line 'cause that groove has gotten so deep

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And nothing can give reprievе like they do
Nothing can give a brеak for this soldier like they do

[Chorus 1]
Here we are
I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong, oh
One more hit
It feels so helpful in my need for respite, oh

[Verse 2]
And here are the reasons I eat
Reasons I feel everything so deeply when I'm not medicated
And so that's it, I am buying a Lamborghini
To make up for these habits, to survive this sick industry
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Nothing can give reprieve like they do
Nothing can give me a break from this torture like they do

[Chorus 2]
Here we are
I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong, oh
One more sip
It feels so helpful in my need for some long overdue respite, oh

[Bridge]
And these are the reasons I don't even think I would quit
And these are the reasons I can't even see straight
And these are the ones whom I know it so deeply affects
And I am left wondering how I would function without it

[Chorus 3]
Here we are
I feel such rapture and my comfort is so strong, oh
One more rip
I go from one lilypad to another to stay lit, oh
