Long Lost Friend

I thought the lonliness Would never end, But here you are... My long lost friend. You give me a voice And make me feel alive, But if I fall into your trap I know that I won't survive. You awaken the fury Deep inside of me. As you rot my body and mind, I'm amazed at what I see: This single bottle Has given me hope, Given me a high Much better than dope. What's this, my friend? Are you pulling me down? Let me have one more drink Before I begin to drown. The bottle that used to Help me fly Is empty now.. So let me die.
