Shower Of Shame

Shower Of Shame

By Andy Allchurch

 

Early morning misgivings

About this life i’m living

Certain worries are on my mind

I’ve got that sinking feeling

When i wake up thinking

What was it that i left behind

 

Got no inspiration

The bottle my only salvation

Clouds are hanging over my head

I’m just a social outcast

My life has no contrast

Maybe i’m better off left for dead

 

 

No family ambition

Since i broke with tradition

Branded myself the one to blame

I chose whiskey over love

As god is my judge

I’m walking in a shower of shame

 

No loving feelings

For people or their dealings

Burdend to accommadate a broken heart

I’m somewhere i should’nt be

Lost in a drinking spree

Alone and left out in the dark

 

Wanton and weary

The drink calls to me

Humbled i bow to the grain

There is only one ending

And that is just depending

If from the bottle i can refrain

 

 

No family ambition

Since i broke with tradition

Branded myself the one to blame

I chose whiskey over love

As god is my judge

I’m walking in a shower of shame

 

Indefensible and indifferent

A down and out deviant

Walking in the shadows with fear

What a fool i’ve been

Missing out on loves scene

For the spirit i hold so dear

 

Wrathful and worthless

Am angry, but i’m useless

Values have crashed to the floor

My time is now spent

A fact that’s most evident

Whiskey has tainted me to the core

 

 

No family ambition

Since i broke with tradition

Branded myself the one to blame

I chose whiskey over love

As god is my judge

I’m walking in a shower of shame
 

Advance my destiny

Lord do not pity me

Destitution has now reached the extreme

I can’t pay the toll

I am drowning in alcohol

Let me go alfresco to dream

 

Headlong into death

And with my last breath

Pray for the love i left

Sorrow is in my heart

This chapter the final part

Of a man that’s been over bereft

 

No family ambition

Since i broke with tradition

Branded myself the one to blame

I chose whiskey over love

As god is my judge

I’m walking in a shower of shame.
