lyrics
drink my screwdrivers but they don't fix me up
i thought i'd turn the screw with every sip and every sup
but it's left a bloody taste just swishing round my mouth
like when i bit right through my lip and went down to the south
it was warm salt water washing every pit and crevice
my mouth tasted of salt but my brain it felt like lettuce
i was doing nothing just out pining for my past
i knew i had to die but i didn't know that it was cast
drink my screwdrivers but they don't fix me up
i thought i'd turn the screw with each sip and every sup
but it's left these bridges that aren't held onto the ground
i built them up so tall but they're not structurally sound
it's cause there's a little voice that urged me all along
i listened to him even though i knew that he was wrong
it's cause i just couldn't face what lay upon my path
i did not calculate but there will be an aftermath
drink my screwdrivers but they don't fix me up
i thought i'd turn the screw with each sip and every sup
but it's left a spiders web just sticking to my neck
not because i am prey, but cause i am dripping sweat
and it's not the product of athletic stress or strain
it's cause i'm off my rocker, it's cause i've gone insane
i might pretend that it was born beneath my hair
but how can that be true, i can't forget that stare
drink my screwdrivers but they don't fix me up
i thought i'd turn the screw with each sip and every sup
