Rainbows & Whiskey

Rainbows & Whiskey

There's a hole in my head.
Like I really need another.
All these memories are fading.
One after the other.

Bottles seem to be collecting.
On my windowsill.
Enough liquor between them.
To drown this tiny pill.

A one way ticket outta here.
To some exotic nightmare.
Where I wont care.
As longs there's.
Rainbows and Whiskey.

Where no one will miss me.
A party full of color.
There's a hole in the roof.
The cold is seeping in.
But I'm still in this mirage of color. With this bottle of Gin.
Ill admit I miss you.
You're not here to kiss me.
I find substitution in this larger than life, bottle of whiskey.

I watch the rainbow disappear, into the cloudy sky.
Now there's no more whiskey left, so I begin to cry.
When I wake, I pray there'll be another one near by.
I don't wanna go home. Ill sleep under the stars.
Sober now, but still I feel all the loving scars.

I know, you're never gonna be that close to me.
Aslong as I have my Rainbows and Whiskey.
