"10 Shots" lyrics
All it takes one shot to get me feeling myself
And have the devil knocking at my door
All it takes two shots to numb this pain
Have me thinking I'm fine and need to drink more
All I need is three shots to take this weight of anxiety
And throw it out and go explore
And buy that fourth shot I'm slurring my words
And don't recognize myself any more
Buy that fifth and that sixth I'm trippin'
And by that seventh I know I gotta take eight
Nine shots means I'm getting home real late
And ten shots is all that it takes
To have a night I won't remember
Life's a bitch and it's probably because I upset her
We get one but the F.O.M.O. from missing fun will have me looking back later
Wishing I treated her better
My future self's screaming whenever I take a sip
Telling me I'm drowning and sinking and can't swim
That I should slow down and stop 'cause somebody might get hit
Like how I should have just stopped at the stop sign I just missed
These spirits taking the happiness out my soul
JACKing Daniel of moments this whiskey's taking a toll
Tequila shots on these rocks I'm dodging trying to avoid
They hit me reopen wounds now I'm drinking to fill a void
This alcoholic story is one I didn't expect
Diary full of pages I'm bleeding on to forget
Paying for all my sins in the currency called regret
The re-spending it on alcohol knowing it won't help
All it takes one shot to get me feeling myself
And have the devil knocking at my door
All it takes two shots to numb this pain
Have me thinking I'm fine and need to drink more
All I need is three shots to take this weight of anxiety
And throw it out and go explore
And buy that fourth shot I'm slurring my words
And don't recognize myself any more
Buy that fifth and that sixth I'm trippin'
And by that seventh I know I gotta take eight
Nine shots means I'm getting home real late
And ten shots is all that it takes
I'm not happy with the path that I chose
I water the tree of addiction, it's no wonder it grows
I try to picture life sober, so I strike me a pose
But the image never develops or it's over-exposed
When I subtract it gets added to the places I go
If I divide it, it multiplies and the sum as a whole
Equals my life falling can't exponentially grow
Because I'm too damn drunk to walk up the slippery slope
Why didn't anyone tell me that alcohol was a drug?
That who you are as a man is never enough?
That social drinking and popping bottles in clubs is drinking
Until you die disguised as living it up?
I'm crying in this booth having conversations with God
Starting is easy, quitting is so hard
Praying that I escape, find a way out the dark
Feels like I'm in a prison, all I'm seeing is bars
Everywhere that I turn, everywhere that I look
Water's turning to wine like Jesus did in the book
And the thought of the Bible teaching sobriety got me shook
Because maybe it was a metaphor that I misunderstood
And as I sit here drinking, ignoring every call
Looking back on my life, moments I can't recall
Haunt me, taunt me, forced me to crawl
Laugh at my pain
Pray that I fall
All it takes one shot to get me feeling myself
And have the devil knocking at my door
All it takes two shots to numb this pain
Have me thinking I'm fine and need to drink more
All I need is three shots to take this weight of anxiety
And throw it out and go explore
And buy that fourth shot I'm slurring my words
And don't recognize myself any more
Buy that fifth and that sixth I'm trippin'
And by that seventh I know I gotta take eight
Nine shots means I'm getting home real late
And ten shots is all that it takes
And have the devil knocking at my door
All it takes two shots to numb this pain
Have me thinking I'm fine and need to drink more
All I need is three shots to take this weight of anxiety
And throw it out and go explore
And buy that fourth shot I'm slurring my words
And don't recognize myself any more
Buy that fifth and that sixth I'm trippin'
And by that seventh I know I gotta take eight
Nine shots means I'm getting home real late
And ten shots is all that it takes
To have a night I won't remember
Life's a bitch and it's probably because I upset her
We get one but the F.O.M.O. from missing fun will have me looking back later
