Day Drunk

I don't know how to settle this
How to live without a sedative
Want to know who my better is
But he gets too hard to chase
I don't need more medicine
But here's a little bit of evidence
I don't know why I'm so hesitant
Sober is so hard to taste

And I built these demons with my own two hands, and I get that now
Need to take a step and cut the [?] out of my chest

Sorry mama, don't remember that story that you told
I was way too day drunk to be hung on every word
If you have the time today, tell it all again
Oh, I swear that I'll put my bottle down instead of diving in
I don't wanna be day drunk
I don't wanna be day drunk

I didn't quit when I said I did
And now I'm cold all through my skeleton
Wanna know who my better is
But he gets too hard to face
Small steps
Go forward, then back
Get no closer like that
Same old plan of attack
Like ooh, this might get the best of me

And I built these demons with my own two hands, and I get that now
But I need to take a step and cut that [?] out of my chest

Sorry mama, don't remember that story that you told
I was way too day drunk to be hung on every word
If you have the time today, tell it all again
Oh, I swear I'll put my bottle down instead of diving in
I don't wanna be day drunk
I don't wanna be day drunk

Smell steps
Go forward, then back
Get no closer like that
Switch up my plan of attack
Like ooh, this won't get the best of me
