Overdose,

Have you ever overdose before?

It hits you to the core,

Leaves you wanting more,

See,

When you overdose,

You get so close,

To numbing the thoughts,

Everything becomes froze,

Your body becomes knots,

Here comes the next drinks

Ever been hospitalized cause,

You couldn't handle your shots?

Where whenever you get the sniff,

Of the your favorite alcohol,

Then you become addict,

That can't get enough,

You continue to drink and drink,

Until you black out,

oops,

Let me repeat myself,

Have you ever overdose,

To the point your friends

Start doing CPR,

Isn't it crazy,

That this drink is the reason I died;

And came back to life.

When I was drinking,

all I wanted to do was hide,

I tried, tried and tried,

To get over this addiction,

I cannot denied,

Any longer that if I continue to drink I will be crucified,

I just need to find an allied,

To help me when these thoughts get loud,

I need a way to dry these tears from my eyes,

I need to find my crowd,

The ones that love to be in the clouds,

The ones that never want to come down,

The ones that say fuck alcohol,

Since,

They know what alcohol does to people,

How it makes some want to brawl,

While others can't even stand up straight,

So they fall,

See,

Alcoholism was going to be the death of me,

It was honestly a close call,

At one point,

I was getting an eight ball,

With the liquor,

Mixing them together,

Was a hell of a ride,
