Jack
You started drinking to numb the pain
You can’t even remember what you were before he came
His name is Jack and he is driving you insane.
He has made you angry and enraged
He has made it so that you take it out on her face
Your baby sees this but you want to change
Jack is the one who is filling you with hate.
He has turned you into something you are not
You have drank so much that your mind is shot
Enough is enough; I’m begging you, you need to stop
He has made you a monster and Jack is his name.
One night you go out to meet Jack
You’ve had so much that you’ve lost count
You get into the car and drive home
Little do you know you’ll be in a coffin instead
You drive off a bridge with jack in your hand
And just like that Jack brought your life to an end.
