Say yes I'd never Look forward to the future Accepting fate's hand Embrace misery I never remember to Count my blessings Carry a constant weight around my neck Wondering what it would be like to Go back in time I don't want to Always Be tempted I forgot how to Smile Each day Within myself Demons Wrestle I no longer Feel happy Wake up Choose darkness over light No one told me A warning Addiction is Hell I believe it Friends say there's a better way I refuse the offer Dance with me The devil whispers Try this poison I know I won't Just say no (Now read from bottom to top)

Addiction and Sobriety (A Backwards Poem)
Say yes I'd never Look forward to the future Accepting fate's hand Embrace misery I never remember to Count my blessings Carry a constant weight around my neck Wondering what it would be like to Go back in time I don't want to Always Be tempted I forgot how to Smile Each day Within myself Demons Wrestle I no longer Feel happy Wake up Choose darkness over light No one told me A warning Addiction is Hell I believe it Friends say there's a better way I refuse the offer Dance with me The devil whispers Try this poison I know I won't Just say no (Now read from bottom to top)
