What the hell, I'm done. Take me home, Gabriel.
The FCP GROUP is a band of composers. We are all writers, some perform, all have performed professionally in the past.
FCP is not so much a band in the "performing" musical sense........more like a "band" of various talents in the songwriting arena.

Story behind the song
Once consumed by alcohol, it is only a matter of time before the consumption is complete. Run, walk, crawl, or whatever, but escape.
Lyrics
WHAT A STATE I'M IN" (verse) I slowly open my eyes the lights are raising hell with my brain Who woulda thunk something I drunk Could have inflicted this much pain I carefully rise from the couch and try to make it to my bed I can’t find my feet and my knees feel weak It appears I’ll be sleeping on the floor instead (chorus) If wasted is just a state of mind good lord what a state I’m in These tell tale signs of staggering blind Waking up among these empty bottles of gin This crazy dream so real it seems Being strangled by what might have been I keep it uncomplicated staying totally wasted Lord what a state I’m in (verse) Old friends use to come around but they don’t stop by here anymore I guess my pain done drove them away If they can’t share your hurtin' what are friends good for I truly hope they're doing okay I'm not doing all that well on my own Lying on the floor in my soiled drawers I’d dial nine-one-one if I could crawl to the phone (chorus) If wasted is just a state of mind good lord what a state I’m in These tell tale signs of staggering blind Waking up among these empty bottles of gin The cold hard truth that I’ve wasted my youth Sends me reaching for my trusted friend Gin you’re there when I need ya you’re the perfect anesthesia Lord what a state I’m in (bridge) I don’t know what could have went wrong I guess I’m just one of those thousands of men That goes through life thinking things are all right Until the walls stop falling and come crashing in (last chorus and fini) If wasted is just a state of mind good lord what a state I'm in I've wasted my life and I've wasted my time Digging this hole that I've been crawling in The cold hard truth that I've wasted my youth Sends me reaching for my trusted friend Gin you're there when I need ya you're the perfect anesthesia Lord what a state I'm in I keep it uncomplicated staying totally wasted Lord, what a state I'm in Copyright 2005 by barney lee bowden
