Remember how the alcohol
helped you avoid the angst
Afterall you have free will
again I hear the whisper say
A thing that haunts my mind
when things feel out of hand
Another way to function through
plans refusing to aband
Just get a secret bottle of
the friend that I call jack
I\'ll keep it in the closet
way hidden in the back
I like the way it bites my throat
a tiny shot will do
It really wouldn\'t hurt no one
I certainly wouldn\'t tell
I remember how it always starts
a little just for fun
Before I know my goal has changed
the outcome being numb
The way it always eased the pain
I never will forget
Distract myself by cleaning messes
of things I would regret
I\'m so grateful for the shift
in the way I think today
Choosing now to process feelings
and not to run away
For wherever I may go
myself will greet me there
To remind me that there\'s still
work within to do if I only dare
