My Dissertation

I'm working on a math problem
it should be easy to do
calculating how many drinks
it takes to forget about you
maybe one for every time you lied
Baby, I don't think I can count that high
Maybe it's a chemistry problem
that I'm trying to solve
Just add alcohol
and all your problems will dissolve
If my hypothesis is right
you'll be forgotten by the end of the night
So pour me a drink in the name of education
This is research for my dissertation
and pour me another 'cause it hasn't worked yet
repeat process for desired effect
Working on a math problem
is harder than I'd expect
no matter how hard I try
I just can't solve my (e)x
If my hypothesis proves wrong
Gonna need something stronger than this song
So pour me a drink in the name of education
This is research for my dissertation
and pour me another 'cause it hasn't worked yet
repeat process for desired effect

Day Drinking
02:28

I'm thinking bout showing up at your door
with a bottle of whiskey
the cheap stuff 'cause I'm poor
We're the co-captains of a ship that's sinking
but we don't care
because we're day drinking
I'm thinking bout moving way out west
and I'm asking you to come
because you're the one I like best
We're the co-captains of a ship that's sinking
but we don't care
because we're day drinking
Follow me because I'm on a mission
to be crowned the King of bad decissions

Just now I have decided
my night will be whiskey guided
let's see how that goes
It could be good, it could be hell
it might be fun, I can't tell
where I'll end up, nobody knows
I'm sick of trying to behave
what if I got no soul to save?
There's something in the air that makes tonight
a good night for a bad idea
I spend too much time thinking straight
sometimes you have to wait
for a few good brain cells to die
Then decisions come easy
maybe not intelligently
there's tomorrow to figure out why
I'm sick of trying to behave
what if I got no soul to save?
There's something in the air that makes tonight
a good night for a bad idea

Gravity

I must have pissed off gravity
I can feel the world spinning under me
I can't drive, I can barley stand
Lead the way but take my hand
Hold me up
Before I fall on my face
Hold me up
Feel like I'm floating in space
and if I make it to tomorrow
only slightly battered and bruised
I thank you
Gotta say I disagree
when they say drinking's not therapy
that's why I keep my glass filled up
and my mind distracted with being drunk
Hold me up
Before I fall on my face
Hold me up
Feel like I'm floating in space
and if I make it to tomorrow
only slightly battered and bruised
I thank you
Why think of tomorrow right now
it's only gonna hurt anyhow
you call it procrastination
I call it salvation
