Our impending extinction has really put my drinking problem in perspective.

from Where was I? by Paul Harris/Help, I'm self-aware!

lyrics

I watched the sky tear clear in half made a wish on the rift it left
I watched the hopes and crops reduced to ash
Heard the optimists denial and the madmen thump their bibles
While the opportunists shake me down for cash

There's an eerie calm between the panic and the bombs
Behind every devastated set of eyes I see a joke
Me, I feel ok knowing I can't outlive my fate
No matter how much I don't drink or I don't smoke

Some folks focus on the countdown some try to put out fires
Some freaks with sticky fingers are breaking down my door
Take everything I have, take my life there's not much left
I always knew that I'd die drunk and poor

I'm sitting on the sofa I had dragged out to the roof
Just trying to finish one last pre-game and my final bag
Before I get erased by the karma or the waves
Or disintegrate in the shock from the impact

Some folks throw out their repression some head straight for the confession
The patient break the rules and the tools play nice
Well me, I cause no trouble drink until I see double
That way I can see the whole thing happen twice

Yea I've got problems but we've got bigger problems
And the drinking gets me thinking that I'm fine
Yea I've got problems but we've got bigger problems
Sometimes it helps to smile at your demise

Paul Harris is uncomfortable writing about himself in third person. He's uncomfortable writing about himself in general, really.
You'd think, given the sheer number of social media outlets, job applications, and dating sites for which he has had to fill out similar descriptions over the years, he would have grown accustomed to the process or drafted some kind of form bio by now. No such luck. ... more
