After this shot, my brain will be a little bit wilted
After this drink, my vision will be little more tilted
My liver is bruised, from all the liquor i've abused
Shouldn't take life forgranted, I'm merely amused
Made a vow to myself, i would not get drunk today
But it seems nothing can make this thirst go away
Ghostly face looking back at me in the mirror
My girl is yellin at me, but i don't wanna hear her
Family said listen here, we're gonna tell you clear
Drinking like this will kill in five to ten years

All the warnings from family i did not heed
About how alcoholism runs within my veins
The pain can't be seen, it doesn't make you bleed
The addiction is tough to break, like locks and chains
I try to picture me in a casket, lifeless
Listen to the pastor explain life and death
Nobody with even a single tear to suppress
Nobody asking if there was pain in my last breath
I'm feeling Underapreciated and overcome
Trying so hard to hide my bottles, i'm losing myself
Drinkin for a purpose, drinking til i'm numb
Bottom of another bottle, i toss it on the shelf

I know i'm strong, but i'm weak against addiction
Was an easy prediction, Alcoholism forever my affliction
Thoughts in my notebook, let me see the rage that i shook
Take a look, You see my life was stolen, but i'm the crook
This letter to my fam, you all, i'll be missin'
I know you tried to tell me, i just didn't listen
Good and evil are constantly rippin' at my heart
I just need some help, or somehow to restart
Phone rings but i'm not answering, I don't wanna talk
Gotta stay clean and sober, let the jack daniels walk

Nice drop man.
"I know i'm strong, but i'm weak against addiction

Keep trying. I wouldn't know how hard it is, but I know both my parents quit smoking before I was born. I'm glad for it too.  You can get better, just keep busy with good activities.
