about

Directly speaking, its a song about pain causing someone to fall into alcoholism. Broadly speaking, its about the allure of giving in to vices to dull the pain.

lyrics

The memory of your eyes that used to hypnotize
Is all that I have left, and I know it was contrived
Alone in this dark room, afraid to face the truth
The walls are closing in on the memories of you

The memory of your hands is something I can't stand
I crumble to the ground in this forsaken land
But the memories only last for a moment, then they pass
And I can only hold on for so long before they're gone

Oh won't you tell me how to forget your gentle touch
I can't go on like this, the memories aren't enough
I need to find a way to drown and not to see
Now I know the answer is one more martini

Our love now only lasts on some superficial stage
So I watch while it plays out and my heart begins to age
It helps me lose my mind and forget this wasted time
Now I have nothing left to be as I drown in a martini

I'll lose my mind forever, though I fight to stop the slide
But time I can't resist, so I fall in for the ride
Its become my only friend, I drown but now I see
That at the very end is one more martini
