I hate this life I live
No friends to care
or to hear me talk
Life is hard to bear
I often want out
Life doesn’t fight fair
Forever living in limbo
Neither here nor there
It’s hard to stay sober
For even just one day
People say just stop
I wish there were a way
I’m tired of just existing
With nothing to compare
No insight or inspiration
I’m not getting anywhere
It’s like fighting just to breathe
To open your lungs and get air
I often dream of freedom
From this life of despair
People I say I must believe
Say prayers everyday
We’ll I have gone that route
But somehow always stray
My life is so unsettled
It’s in dire need of repair
But how do I start
What do I do to prepare
Feels like I’m lost at sea
And I don’t know where
I think I’m sinking fast
All people do is stare
In need of a helping hand
A friend along my way
Someone to confide in
One who will forever stay
Even when I fail
I want them still to care
But cause I’m just an addict
Most people don’t dare
My parents aren’t proud
Most times they are scared
That I will end up dead
That I will not be spared
I fail them time and again
Because I can’t obey
The ideals of sobriety
Not even when they pray
No friends to care
or to hear me talk
Life is hard to bear
I often want out
Life doesn’t fight fair
Forever living in limbo
Neither here nor there
It’s hard to stay sober
For even just one day
People say just stop
I wish there were a way
I’m tired of just existing
With nothing to compare
No insight or inspiration
I’m not getting anywhere
It’s like fighting just to breathe
To open your lungs and get air
I often dream of freedom
From this life of despair
People I say I must believe
Say prayers everyday
We’ll I have gone that route
But somehow always stray
My life is so unsettled
It’s in dire need of repair
But how do I start
What do I do to prepare
Feels like I’m lost at sea
And I don’t know where
I think I’m sinking fast
All people do is stare
In need of a helping hand
A friend along my way
Someone to confide in
One who will forever stay
Even when I fail
I want them still to care
But cause I’m just an addict

That I will not be spared
