Drowning in my own existence Lost in this misery called life Blinded by hatred and sorrow Alcohol became my friend Held my hand when i felt so alone in this world, Picked me up when i was low Alcohol never betrayed me Alcohol never lied to me Alcohol never hurt me... So i thought... Alcohol has stripped me of the person i once was Snatched the hope right from my sight Pushed my family away, and replaced them with "friends" who couldnt care less about me Alcohol destroyed my life faster than i could have imagined Alcohol made me hate myself sober Until i started to hate myself alive Alcohol numbed my soul I didnt care wether i lived or i died Caused little earthquakes throughout my heart until finally it collapsed, Then i stopped caring as long as a bottle was in my hand Today marks the day i take my life back Today i change the future Today i have hope
