Take away your hard liquor and make it harder
Take away your longest words and make them shorter,
Find small pauses and fill them with subliminal messages,
Find small clouds and fill them with more water.

Grab someone else’s hand just as it’s starting to tremble
Grab someone else’s keys just as they’re getting ready,
Take away the chance of salvation,
Take away the chance of procrastination.

Start and walk far now, farther than you’ve ever seen the horizon stretch
Start and slow down now, slower than you’ve ever seen time lapse,
Land yourself in another world,
Land yourself in the water.

Take away the memories from all the days grown men acted childish
Take away the memories from all the bottles grown men set on counters,
It’s not the liquor that will set you free,
It’s not the people you love that will make you see.
