Intro:
Yeah, yeah, uh
Juice WRLD
Chorus:
I drink alcohol everyday but I'm not an alchemist
Turning liquid pain into smiles, but it's counterfeit
Bottle after bottle, drowning in my consciousness
I drink alcohol everyday but I'm not an alchemist
Verse 1:
Wake up every morning, same old routine
Grab a bottle just to cope with what I've seen
Dark days, bright nights, caught up in-between
Trying to find solace in my sips of green
They say that I'm different, maybe a little distant
But this liquid courage is my only assistant
Keepin' me afloat, but I'm barely existent
In a sea of problems, I'm dwelling consistent
Pre-Chorus:
I know it ain't right, this ain't where I should be
But the bottle's my escape from my harsh reality
Can’t find the balance, I'm lost and it's clear
This isn't alchemy, it won’t make my fears disappear
Chorus:
I drink alcohol everyday but I'm not an alchemist
Turning liquid pain into smiles, but it's counterfeit
Bottle after bottle, drowning in my consciousness
I drink alcohol everyday but I'm not an alchemist
Verse 2:
People say I've lost it, say I'm outta control
But they don't understand the weight on my soul
Use these potions just to try to feel whole
But the harder I try, the deeper the hole
Wish I had the power to turn it all around
Like some sort of magic, with peace to be found
But I'm stuck in this cycle, always sinking down
Every drink a chain link, keeping me bound
Pre-Chorus:
I know it ain't right, this ain't where I should be
But the bottle's my escape from my harsh reality
Can’t find the balance, I'm lost and it's clear
This isn't alchemy, it won’t make my fears disappear
Chorus:
I drink alcohol everyday but I'm not an alchemist
Turning liquid pain into smiles, but it's counterfeit
Bottle after bottle, drowning in my consciousness
I drink alcohol everyday but I'm not an alchemist
Bridge:
I've tried to break free, tried to find a way
But these demons haunt me, every night and day
I need something real, not a temporary stay
But the bottle’s my crutch, and it leads me astray
Outro:
I drink alcohol everyday but I'm not an alchemist
Longing for peace, but it’s just an illusionist
Searching for answers in this abyss
I drink alcohol everyday but I'm not an alchemist
(Yeah, yeah)
