Drink to Forget

The sign outside says open late

The door creaks like it's sealing fate

Inside the smoke, the sinners sing

Every shot another offering

The barkeep nods, he's heard it all

My rise, my wreck, my final fall

He pours redemption, neat and slow

And says, "you pay in pain, you know"

Welcome to the devil's bar

Where every saint forgot who they are

Drink to forget, drink to burn

The only lesson left to learn

She walks in wearing guilt like lace

Hearts collapse in her embrace

She don't talk, she don't forgive

She just reminds you how to live

The clock hits twelve, the music dies

I see my sins behind her eyes

The devil smiles, I raise my glass

Drink to forget - this too shall pass
