Falling down, the cards on the table
Broke again, unwilling yet able
Gambling never got you far
You're so far from where you think you are
Deep in stress, you can't focus, you can't think
But you digress when you lose yourself in stiff drink
It's not the liquor nor the beer, it's not the alcohol
It's none of these things, it's the man who abuse the bar
A new season will come, a brand new day will dawn
The darkness of these clouds can only last so long
Though you may be feeling weary, just remember that it's temporary
It's up to you, what ya gonna do, be mad or merry?
Too much smoke, too much drink, she buries her face in coke
She stops and shutters to think she's already lost all control
It doesn't matter the vice, she's tried everything twice
The true message from her heart now eclipsed, her veins now filled with ice
You see, dope, lies and hypocrisy, how far has it got we?
We need a little honesty to be set free from mental slavery
So let me share with you, a few thoughts I've been thinking through
It's you, me, our own self-control, discipline in action, freedom for your soul
