You try to stay sane,
Try to keep quiet,
Try to be what they want you to be,
To that I say fuck it
What is life but a troublesome affliction,
Society wants you to do this,
So called loved ones want that,
Neither wants you to have bliss
You do everything you can,
Try so hard to please them,
What do they do,
Throw you away on a whim
They take advantage of your kindness,
They pray on your weakness,
Gravitate you towards suicide,
Then bring you back, acting selfless
Torture is all they know,
How are you to rest,
With all the hatred inside,
With lies they test
Why must it be this way,
Don’t they understand,
The love for them so unconditional,
So much that you haven’t a friend
Plans you make will disappear,
With a simple phone call,
Everything is alright,
Bullshit is all
The images prance around your mind,
Taking care to make the right steps,
The ones that will leave a scar,
Will you survive, perhaps
One thing keeps you sane,
Evil they call it, go figure,
Either way it helps the pain,
Sweet, sweet liquor
That magic in the bottle,
Takes you away from this planet,
Feeling nothing for nobody,
Turns your aching heart into granite
Things are gonna change for you,
Life seems more full,
At least as long as the bottle remains wet,
Oh how fucking cruel
No one is to blame but yourself,
You could leave if you wanted,
Start out anew and fresh,
But by memories you would forever be haunted
Of the laughter you shared,
Of the late night smiles,
Of the tears you cried,
Love, the green mile
My heart feels cold,
Yet I am warm,
The liquor helps the charade,
But the heart bares the toll of the storm
Leave me be,
I am not the boy I once was,
Neither am I the man I should’ve been,
All because of humanity’s greatest weakness, lust
Fear not, for as Hamlet said,
Conscious does make cowards of us all,
I cannot leave this plane,
For fear of the fall
So I leave you now with words of wisdom,
Nay, words of a drunk,
Live life to the fullest,
Never let your heart be sunk
