Actually, I’ll take a sip…
Mm the sip that delightfully burns,
The sip that ironically cures,
I use spirits to lift my spirits,
Until my body purges it and I replenish it,
This leads to solemn days of mascerades,
Letting my cheerful nature fool anyone close enough to sense danger,

I can feel this new breathe bring life back into me,
It feels so good,
So new so true,
