A.A. (Alcoholism Alluring)

 

Why do you poison your body even if it gives you that all time high
Lead your life so strong but yet you waste half your potential at the bar
Responsibility slips through your hands like liquid pleasure pouring from the bottle
Let it boost your self-esteem but ultimately reveal you for the coward that you are

The alcohol it allures you; makes you; rules you
The addiction it controls you; breaks you; traps you

Wake up in your bed not sure how you got there
Amazing or disasterous the night before is long forgotten
Why do you torture your body so much for what you can't even remember
Inebriation will take its toll soon these days will grow old

The alcohol is allures you; shakes you; scares you
The addiction it consumes you; devours you; defeats you

Why can't anyone see
It's a disease not a deity
You are invisible not invincible
Cowardly not courageous
Your habits breed sorrow not sanctity

When will you be able to see the pain that you cause
When will you be strong enough to throw out the bottle and walk away
When will you realize these weekends out will someday catch up to you
When will you be able to see through sober eyes like me

---

If you can't have fun without something as damaging as alcohol then is it really fun
Drink up to wash away your problems you're only opening the door to so many more
Just because nothing bad happened last weekend doesn't mean all hell won't come crashing down on the next
Responsibility or not it will eventually get you
