Sometimes I find myself drowning in my past There’s a guilty piece of my conscience I cannot surpass Too many years I hid myself behind a bottle Not even in the drivers seat but hitting the throttle My careless mind destroyed everyone I loved Tore down any future I had dreamed of Next I would find comfort in a colorful pill Just a little something so I couldn’t feel The addiction had me tangled in barb wire Everytime I tried to escape it was like adding fuel to the fire Ending my suffering finally by confronting my fears Even if it means drowning in a river of my own tears It may take twice the time to right my wrongs But I’m okay with that because I’m where I belong
