3 Some Chris Joe and Alcohol

I'm drinking and my life is a mess 
But I can't stand anything less 
The more I drink the better I feel 
Or is it possible there is nothing to feel? 
I love a girl who is better then life 
But all I do is give her grievance and strife 
I'm begging you Lord please, PLEASE, PLEASE 
Don't let me go through any more DT's 
I don't think I can keep a job 
What do I do? Steal, lie and rob? 
Open your eyes Joe life isn't free 
My eyes are wide open but still I can't see 
The way things are going I don't want anymore 
I'm tired of being crazy sick and sore 
Do I drink or do I stay sober? 
I just don't want to start over 
I can't stop for to stop is death 
Couldn't wait for that very last breath 
I have a woman who is worth living for 
Just hope she doesn't help me find the door 
I have been drugging and drinking for so long 
So I put a few words into a song 
I am ashamed of the life that I live 
I really try for something to give 
These words don't express what I feel 
Just a glimpse of the things I know are real 
I want to change but can't stand the pain 
When I don't drink I feel I am going insane 
Please understand the things that I do 
It has nothing to do with my feelings for you 
I love you so much I would take my life 
But one day I would be proud to have you as my wife.

The Stuff In My Head

I don't belong here 
This life of mine 
Why have I come to this point in time 
Is it because of the demons I fear? 


When did it begin and when will it end 
The feelings I have are very clear 
Why does death seem so very near? 
And will it become my only true friend? 


Time is irrelevant this point in time 
When the days are over will I regress 
I pray and hope for some peaceful rest 
Will the future ever be mine? 


This rhyme scheme is not what I like 
My mind is simple however the depth 
Too bad it got messed up by my crystal meth 
But writing is so much like sex or riding a bike 


It is too bad I made a mess of my life 
What came before does not even help 
Can't even take care of myself 
Love you too much to use a knife 


The answer is clear, why can't I see? 
So I go through life living like I do 
And what do I give but a pile of poo 
My hands on my eyes mean nothing to me 


This poem means nothing to you 
To give and to take and really don't care 
I really wish I NEVER was there 
To say I am sorry is so very true 


I CARE MORE ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING TO YOU
