"The Bitter Cup" is by Billy Childish:

there's no taste sweeter
than the rush of hot vomit
sifted through decaying back teeth

I'd whisper I love you
and stop all this hating
but in truth i aint got the belief

There's no sea deeper than the piss of the bottle
and none speaks the truth like the drunk
whiskey runs through me like a sorrowful river
i'm down on my knees and i'm sunk
