Song Notes
Well, I think I wrote that song when I was sober for five years, and then I got a little FOMO or something. And then I - so I picked up the bottle again, and then it just escalated, getting to this point where it's like, I didn't want to, like, hurt the relationships and things around me. And so I quit (laughter). So yeah.
Alcohol just gets in the way. Anything that I wanted to accomplish in my life, whether it was my personal relationships with people or, you know, my music - I think it was just getting in the way. It was just like a barrier, so I had to get rid of the barrier. And I'm way happier for it now, too, and I've got great friends that are sober. And we can go out, go to a show at the Whisky a Go Go and - yeah. And then - like, it - nothing good ever happens after 2 a.m. You know what I mean?

Lyrics
Welcome to my problems
It's not an invitation
This is my dilemma
And it's my obsession
I was sober now I'm drunk again
I'm in trouble and in love again
I don't want to be a dead man walking
I don't want to be a dead man walking
Welcome to my nightmare
Where dreams go to disappear
Sit around in rehab
Feeling like a lab rat
Strange days are here again
And it's getting weirder
Here's to all my problems
I just want to drink the poison
I was sober now I'm drunk again
I'm in trouble and in love again
I don't want to be a dead man walking
I don't want to be a dead man walking
I was sober now I'm drunk again
I'm in trouble and in love again
I don't want to be a dead man walking
I don't want to be a dead man walking
Oh, why
When I fall asleep tonight
On the wing and prayer
Oh, why
For despair and obsession on you
You, yeah!
I was sober now I'm drunk again
I'm in trouble and in love again
I don't want to be a dead man walking
I don't want to be a dead man walking
I was sober now I'm drunk again
I'm in trouble and in love again
I don't want to be a dead man walking
I don't want to be a dead man walking
