My heart ticks like a time bomb,

Beauty is set ablaze like a wildfire

There's no place for the word qualm,

I am the king of my own empire.

In times of unbearable stupor,

I rejoice in the whiskey of glamor

Agonizing memories turn bleaker,

As I gulp down the scorching liquor.

Beautiful is just being beautiful here,

But intoxication itself is getting intoxicated here...

I weigh wisdom in one hand,

And collapse under the burden of addiction in the other.

My heart ticks like a time bomb,

Beauty is set ablaze like a wildfire

There's no place for the word qualm,

I am the king of my own empire.

Caged in a worthless obsession,

The bottle begs me near

I'm seduced in a craving inclusion

What should I do my dear.

Clumsy is just being clumsy here,

But rage itself is heaved in tantrum here.

I weigh hope in one hand,

And stumble under the density of woe in another.

My heart ticks like a time bomb,

Beauty is set ablaze like a wildfire

There's no place for the word qualm,

I am the king of my own empire.

Ignoring the bruises I am giving my body within,

I swig down the bitter peg

Alcohol is my one and only kin,

No other alternate should I beg.

My heart ticks like a time bomb,

Beauty is set ablaze like a wildfire

There's no place for the word qualm,

I am the king of my own empire.

Life itself is an intoxication,

What else can I say behind this confession.
