Alcoholism: the Silent Killer

Alcoholsim...The Silent Killer When I have a problem...you are always there I don’t have to wait...you always care I can cry into the bottle and tell you everything Who would ever have thought of all the trouble you’d bring You make me feel better than anything else ever could People try to get me...but I am totally misunderstood All I want is to feel good every second of every day Why do you make me feel so good and then make me pay? I can’t get away from all of the damage create It doesn’t matter what you do...I always take the bait I would live and die for you and that’s my reality When I have you inside me I am carefree I feel no pain inside or out You were always the answer...I never had doubts Until you started getting me into trouble and letting demons in I tried to fight you but just couldn’t win I lost everything in my life because of you I should have told you then that we were through But I hung on and gave you more of my life You made me stare longingly at the blade of my knife On much more than one occasion I have to come to a conclusion and make a decision I either have to give my life for you or let you go What should I do? I honestly don’t know. How can I make it without my only longtime friend I thought we’d be together in the end I thought I’d drink myself to death and go on to better things You give me power...you give me wings I’ve tried to make it without you before and was bored to tears You take away all of my pain and my fears You ease every fowl feeling that comes over me Why do you hurt me so bad in the end...why can’t you just let me be You are my very best friend...that much is true I would have given my life for you I can’t leave you alone and being without you would kill me Please let me go...Let me be free I am going to die if you keep hanging on to my soul I already know that destroying my life is your goal You come from demons...you’re coursing through my veins You live inside me...I’ve got to take the reigns I can’t let you kill me...I need to be with Mondo You have to let me break free...You have to let me go I can’t live without my fallen angel and he means more to me than you For him...there’s nothing I wouldn’t do It is going to be a struggle...the biggest fight of my life I’ve got to let you go and become his wife This is going to be a fight to the death...I already know One of the two of us has got to go Either you are me...we’ll find out who wins You have made me commit too many sins I can’t even look myself in the mirror I’m confused most of the time but I am seeing you clearer You are poison to my soul I guess, from the beginning, that was your goal To poison me and end my life You want to take me out with a butcher knife Or maybe you’ll use some pills You have to stop...you’re giving me chills I think about the damage you could do to me I have to get away...I have to be free If I keep following you...I’ll wind up in prison I have a lot to think on...I have to make a decision Alcohol...you are my Silent Killer You are insane and your bite is a chiller Let me go you insane friend of mine I have to give up the hard liquor, the beer and the wine It is going to hurt me to say goodbye I think I’ll cry...I think I’ll die I don’t want to let you go You’ve been my lifeline...this you have to know However, Mondo is light shining into my soul Killing me is not his goal No that goal is yours and you are evil and unreal You wanted me to do really bad ****...even kill You are going against my will You have to leave...you know the deal Take your fictional fun times and shove them up your ass You want to kill me...I think I’ll pass
