Deeper Into Addiction: Just Out of Reach

Sweep the empty bottles away The last remaining drops drip silently out Lay back against the wall In some home on the edge of the world My tunneled vision begins to open And the blurriness begins clear My parachute opened To pull me out of my free fall So far away from the world My addictions fluctuate My tongue is dry but my head is clear A smile creeps on my face But so far away from the world My addictions fluctuate My head is clear but my mind is roiling As it always has done I know what's gone wrong My past can't be my present I'm aware of that all But through my muddled mind, I can't accept it Sobriety is just out of reach Could I just have a push? All I need is one more push... And I can be at peace again.
