Alcohol leaves you breathless
Drugs leave you senseless
Anger leaves you restless
So what are you to do?
I could punch the wall until I bleed
I could get high as a kite
But you'll never truly see
Anything from my point of view.
From one addiction to another
Like following a familiar curse
The footsteps of my parents
But mine could end much worse.
Alcohol leaves you breathless
Drugs leave you senseless
Anger leaves you restless
So what are you to do?
You could be positive,
Push on
Go strong.
But strength can only get you so far.
You can say everything is alright
While you lie in bed
As you're own demons
Shred your self-esteem at night.
