Lyrics:
I got wasted cause I didn’t wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinking til I’m someone I don’t recognize
I got wasted
I got wasted cause I didn’t wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinking til I’m someone I don’t recognize
I got wasted
Repeat the cycle everyday I gotta start with a drink
My life been getting sorta crazy and I don’t wanna think
I look myself right in the mirror and I don’t even blink
Then I get angry take the rest and pour it right in the sink
I know where this road goes
alcohol ain’t my friend but i keep drinking cause these demons roam and follow me round everywhere I go
it clouds my mind and soul
it turns my heart cold
but I keep drinking cause it makes me feel like I’m not alone
I having problems my pride won’t let me reach out
Looking at this bottle having nothing but doubt
Don’t wanna drink but it keeps coming around and around and around
I got wasted cause I didn’t wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinking til I’m someone I don’t recognize
I got wasted
I got wasted cause I didn’t wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinking til I’m someone I don’t recognize
I got wasted
I know I need to quit
I gotta do better
Example to these kids
Cause they’re watching when I’m there
But I’m scared
Cause I been chasing the man that I am when I start to drink
He’s cocky confident and he don’t give a damn what you think
This world is beating me down and it’s
pushed me right to brink
I take a shot every time because man it helps me escape
I’m taking care of these people but no one takes care of me
I want to talk to somebody but I feel no one relates
I need I better now
I think I’ve lost my way
I’m having battles with faith
It’s painted right on my face
I hope better times are coming
No chase but I’m still running
I gotta take control
And I won’t stop for nothing
Dear God this is my test
Promise that I’ll do my best
Just help with this pain I feel and pressure that is on my chest
I got wasted cause I didn’t wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinking til I’m someone I don’t recognize
I got wasted
I got wasted cause I didn’t wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinking til I’m someone I don’t recognize
I got wasted

I'm 7 days sober today. It might not sound like much but from someone that drank every day for the last 10 years it's huge. It's a battle every day but it's a battle I'll fight. Edit: Find God and find yourself. There's hope. Quit putting it off until tomorrow. Start today and stay strong. The support on this post is unreal. If I can anybody can. Much love ❤️

I'm sober since my 1st son's birth. He almost 4 months old. I made a promise before he was even born to get sober for him. ❤Thanks for saving me son❤

This guy might be the most underrated artist that’s lived. Not a mainstream sellout, no big record deal. The guy is genuinely just making music trying to help people. God bless you Dax.

This song hits on a different level, especially as a father. Dax you've changed the game with this one my guy.

87 days clean on my 4th time through sobriety... Always praying for better days! If you have even 1 day clean celebrate because that's a miracle ❤

2 years sober, and this song just made me cry. I've never heard such an accurate description of what it was like in my head. God bless you Dax. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is speaking through you in so many ways. Keep doing what you're doing brother. ❤

Got sober back in January because of you and some other artists, you made me realise there's better ways to cope. Here I am 3 months later and I couldn't thank you enough for your music. You saved my life Dax

4 years clean from heroin and alcohol now. The sad part is, it was the time in my life that I was happiest, when I was abusing drugs and drinking. That's probably because I spent 60% of my life as an addict, so it's really all I've ever known. I'm only 29 but have been a user of dope and alcohol since I was 14. The craving is always there, but I do my best to resist it. Married now, so I not only have to fight for myself, but for my wife, who stuck with me through it all and helped me get to where I'm at today. Sometimes I think life is harder being sober, because I have to actually worry and care about things, but that's the way it's supposed to be, right? Just gotta keep pushing, one day at a time, I guess. Thank you Dax for doing what you do. You and Tom MacDonald write songs that actually help people. I have mad respect for you guys and I appreciate every lyric you guys put out. Much love from Kentucky!

I’m 37 I had been sober for over 15 years until last year. Lost my family in a divorce and I haven’t dealt with it very well. Almost took me out because I got so depressed that I didn’t want to be here anymore still struggle with that at times but I stopped drinking because I hurt someone that I care a lot for. I still want to get a bottle at times but I know that next time I won’t be strong enough to not do it. I’m writing my own verse for this song and to be a man. Thank you Dax. Your music has helped me get through the hardest time in my life.
