about

This is the first song
It's about that awful interval between bars closing and gas stations being able to sell alcohol, or 2-6 a.m.
If you live in a place where this terrible law doesn't exist or isn't enforced, this song will have little relevance in your life.
However, if you too know the pain, you will carry this song with you everywhere you drink.

lyrics

It's five minutes 'til two and I haven't got a clue
Where to find my next brew
The sand's running low as I take in each drop
outside the tower clock just tolls
Marking the hours I no longer hold
My chances now gone, oh well
The thirst begins to grow, as tears begin to flow
Hours to go, nightmares too slow

4 darkest hours, 4 darkest hours

With every day my patience wears thin
Sickness sets in, quivers break out
Eyes pressed tight, as tears begin to flow
My staggering heart stumbles and falls

4 darkest hours, 4 darkest hours

It's 5 minutes 'til 2 and I haven't got a clue
Where to find my next brew

It's 5 minutes 'til 2 and I haven't got a clue
Where to find my next brew
