Soju

Soju

A Poem by 송지석 / Ji-Suk

Must've been a tough day. I've only had two beers and I'm gone already
Took a deep inhale, now that feels better
Life's spring and fall, nowadays, good days go by so quick
Some make me someone I'm not. Fool around and leave just like that
Wonder if I was strong or just dull
I'd tear up once or twice a year but now I cry at the hopelessness of it all

When I liked the song, I kinda melted, it's all stress
I endured it all cause I didn't want to collapse, I held on cause I didn't want to evaporate 
When it hurts, just cry, cry all you want, it's okay
When sadness disappears, and tears begin to stop
I'll wipe your tears underneath your eyes with my thumb 

I say it's sad, I know, and that's just too bad. I open a new bottle of soju 
You say you started drinking around 15
While drinking, burst out and we don't feel alone for a while and call each other friends
Sometimes sadness stands in my way, laziness captures me
It seems that everyone else is going forward and I'm the only one standing still 
I can't wipe the question 'will I be alright like this?' out my head

When I just follow the motions of life I feel like I have become a ghost 
Loneliness is like a grave and you will always pull me out of it, like the verse of this poem 
When it hurts, just cry, cry all you want, it's okay
When sadness disappears, and tears begin to stop
I'll wipe your tears underneath your eyes with my thumb 

I don't want to be alone so I hold on to someone and won't let go 
But the way back home is always lonely, I turn on the TV and hope I fall asleep
I want to stay friends with just a few that don't score me with ratings
So that I can just get over that hump of a day and be myself and live myself
Sometimes everything feels so meaningless, I wonder why I am living or where I'm going

I put on a mask, I use my fake name, I wonder if it's really me.
When I'm like this, anyone who'd spend time with me is priceless
The world is empty full of lies, but we don't judge each other like a joke

Close your eyes for awhile, you've had it hard for quite a while
Just you wait till this rain and storm passes
When it hurts, just cry, cry all you want, it's okay
When sadness disappears, and tears begin to stop
I'll wipe your tears underneath your eyes with my thumb
