about

I wrote this song while I was reflecting on getting out of a repeating scenario that I was lying to myself about. Dedicated to everyone who has struggled to fight an addiction, whether it's a person or a substance.

lyrics

Pour another drink
Have another one
You know that this is all
In the name of fun

And if it happens while
We are still drunk
You know it doesn't count
When the morning comes, cuz

You are my favourite poison
Don't know why I have chosen
To keep on suffering like this
Oh, ignorance is

You are my favourite poison
Don't know why I have chosen
To keep on suffering like this
Oh, ignorance is

Right at the bottom of this bottle
I'll find the answer
Right at the bottom of this bottle
I'll hit the bottom

When the morning comes
I keep on hoping
That you'll love me like you did in the dark

Now the morning's here
I'm feeling broken
And now I'm wishing I could take this
Back to where we started

You were my favourite poison
Don't know why I kept choosing
To keep on suffering like this
Oh, ignorance is

You were my favourite poison
Don't know why I kept choosing
To keep on suffering like this
Oh, ignorance is

Right at the bottom of this bottle
I'll find the answer
Right at the bottom of this bottle
I'll hit the bottom

That's it, I'm done; I've had enough
It's time to quit and sober up
This stupid thing that I thought was love
Turns out that you were just a drug

You were my favourite poison
Don't know why I kept choosing
To keep on suffering like this
Ignorance is bliss

You were my favourite poison (Ignorance is bliss)
Don't know why I kept choosing (Ignorance is bliss)
To keep on suffering like this (I'll hit the bottom)
Oh, ignorance is bliss

(Pour another drink) You were my favourite poison (Right at the bottom of this bottle)
(Have another one) don't know why I kept choosing (I'll find the answer)
(You know that this is all) to keep on suffering like this (Right at the bottom of this bottle)
(In the name of fun) Oh, ignorance is bliss (I'll hit the bottom)

Right at the bottom of this bottle
Right at the bottom of this bottle
I'll hit the bottom
