Lyrics:

I got wasted cause I didn’t wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinking til I’m someone I don’t recognize
I got wasted
I got wasted cause I didn’t wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinking til I’m someone I don’t recognize
I got wasted

Repeat the cycle everyday I gotta start with a drink
My life been getting sorta crazy and I don’t wanna think
I look myself right in the mirror and I don’t even blink
Then I get angry take the rest and pour it right in the sink
I know where this road goes
alcohol ain’t my friend but i keep drinking cause these demons roam and follow me round everywhere I go
it clouds my mind and soul
it turns my heart cold
but I keep drinking cause it makes me feel like I’m not alone
I having problems my pride won’t let me reach out
Looking at this bottle having nothing but doubt
Don’t wanna drink but it keeps coming around and around and around


I got wasted cause I didn’t wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinking til I’m someone I don’t recognize
I got wasted
I got wasted cause I didn’t wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinking til I’m someone I don’t recognize
I got wasted


I know I need to quit
I gotta do better
Example to these kids
Cause they’re watching when I’m there
But I’m scared
Cause I been chasing the man that I am when I start to drink
He’s cocky confident and he don’t give a damn what you think
This world is beating me down and it’s
pushed me right to brink
I take a shot every time because man it helps me escape
I’m taking care of these people but no one takes care of me
I want to talk to somebody but I feel no one relates
I need I better now
I think I’ve lost my way
I’m having battles with faith
It’s painted right on my face
I hope better times are coming
No chase but I’m still running
I gotta take control
And I won’t stop for nothing
Dear God this is my test
Promise that I’ll do my best
Just help with this pain I feel and pressure that is on my chest


I got wasted cause I didn’t wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinking til I’m someone I don’t recognize
I got wasted
I got wasted cause I didn’t wanna deal with myself tonight
My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright
I keep drinking til I’m someone I don’t recognize
I got wasted

  • I'm 7 days sober today. It might not sound like much but from someone that drank every day for the last 10 years it's huge. It's a battle every day but it's a battle I'll fight. Edit: Find God and find yourself. There's hope. Quit putting it off until tomorrow. Start today and stay strong. The support on this post is unreal. If I can anybody can. Much love ❤️
  • @valarieault321
    I'm not sober. This song hits so hard. I'm tired of being lost

    Dax, I heard your song in my daughter’s car and said “what are you listening to?” She said, mom it’s a good song with a good message and he’s a Christian. So I went home and looked you up and watched your videos. I could feel your heart and your pain through your music. As a pastor sometimes we preach over issues instead of dealing with the real hurts that people are dealing with and we don’t help people find solutions. We know the answer is Jesus, but what do we do when people say “I tried God and he didn’t really work for me.” Sometimes at that point we don’t stay in the fight with the individuals and we leave them to fight alone, not cool when we supposedly have the answers, right? Listening to you this morning was a confirmation that I need to minister to people at a deeper level because people are hurting at a deeper level than what we are dealing with. Please know that I am praying for you and praying that every hurt is healed and every broken place is mended and that you can soon exhale the constant pressure and breathe peace that passes all understanding…. Love and blessings upon you.❤️

    This song echoes my decades of alcoholism! I've been trying to get sober for 19 years and today, January 10, 2024, I have 62 days🩷 I didn't want to live anymore so it was either suicide or my final attempt to get sober. I chose life. I'm finally dealing with my pain and what led me to and kept me drinking. It hasn't been easy but I know it will get better. I couldn't have done this without God and vulnerability. If any of you are struggling, know that it doesn't matter how many times you have tried to get and stay sober .....keep trying🌼You matter and are valuable 💕
  • When I started listening to this song 2 years, I was an active alcoholic. I went through 4 surgeries and told a doctor to please just let me die, Imma lost cause. I had a drainage tube coming out of my side to remove the infection that was caused by years and years of drinking, and I was still drinking. Basically, I was dying. God saved my life!! I cried day and night praying to God. I was hopeless. I did NOT have a support system, no family that was alive. I did it without rehab!!!!!! I knew I needed a support system, and that's when I realized I had the strongest support system I could ever ask for in heaven!! Still to this day I'm amazed how far I've come. I'm so happy and proud that I beat alcoholism!! Stay strong, everyone!! You can do it too!! Thanks for this amazing song that has inspired some many people!! 🎉🎉 You're an amazing person!! ❤

    Quitting drinking was the best decision I’ve made for my life in a long time. Praise be to God. Well done Dax.
  • @suprafive
    Goosebumps during the whole song.........

    4 years clean from heroin and alcohol now. The sad part is, it was the time in my life that I was happiest, when I was abusing drugs and drinking. That's probably because I spent 60% of my life as an addict, so it's really all I've ever known. I'm only 29 but have been a user of dope and alcohol since I was 14. The craving is always there, but I do my best to resist it. Married now, so I not only have to fight for myself, but for my wife, who stuck with me through it all and helped me get to where I'm at today. Sometimes I think life is harder being sober, because I have to actually worry and care about things, but that's the way it's supposed to be, right? Just gotta keep pushing, one day at a time, I guess. Thank you Dax for doing what you do. You and Tom MacDonald write songs that actually help people. I have mad respect for you guys and I appreciate every lyric you guys put out. Much love from Kentucky!
  • @user-oc6og3rn4b
    I love this song. I’m 8 months sober. After losing the love of my life to a heroin overdose I went overboard with alcohol and as hard as I tried I couldn’t kill my self. God has a purpose for me, I just have to find it. I don’t think I could survive if there was no music in the world. It helps me heal and deal with anything that comes along in my life. Thank you so much to all of you great artists for making it possible for me to heal.
  • @Hison-Dcarman
    Good music. Talks about my life experience years back. Alcohol and cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
  • @artifice7302
    I'm an 18 yr old kid who doesn't have issues with alcohol, but my dad recently has become a major addict after the passing of my mom 2 months ago. On top with the stress he deals with at work, he comes home and immediately starts to drink. I keep telling him to be strong and not use these bad outlets but I still see he's struggling. I showed him this song and he immediately started crying and promised me he will try to do better. So Dax, thank you for your strong words and your amazing music. It not only is touching the life of my dad, but many others around the world. Edit: I wasn't expecting so many nice replies. God bless everyone!
  • I’m 27 years old, never was a drinker but a pot smoker. After I dropped out of college I was on a bad path but found great job opportunity but required a drug test. I quit smoking to pursue this career but because of the circumstances I’d be down drinking consistently just to get to bed. I’m almost 4 years into this career now and have not put the bottle down for more than a couple days I go to work hung over almost every single day. I want to stop so bad…… But I can’t mentally, and unfortunately physically is extremely hard to. I was honestly about to sign myself up for outpatient so I can keep my job, but after hearing and watching this music video I figured I’d give one last chance to reach out to find somebody in this world to guide me on the right path who has been through similar struggles.
  • 7 days and 4 days of sobriety it aint much but me took alot of work
  • My poor dude. I know the feel on every level. I know that feeling of being scared. It's a battle that never ends. But we'll win.
  • @80beanz

  • @raysmith6083
