It’s choking you

And it seems as though

You can’t let go

It’s a thorn in your flesh

- – -

What can you do

You’ve tried everything

But like a viper

It keeps raising its head

- – -

You know

What I’m talking about

It’s an addiction

- – -

Fighting to stay afloat

You’re willing

To cut off the hand

That feeds this pestilence

- – -

You hide, sneak

And deceive to get things

Your own way

- – -

Yes, you’ve to own up

To the fact that you’re

An addict

There’s no ifs nor buts

- – -

You’ve to realize

That you can’t

Beat alcoholism by yourself

- – -

Your marriage

Has begun to crumble

There’s distrust

And your wife has started

To see through your facade

- – -

Coming clean lies with you

Kick the habit

Say no to booze

Tell yourself that you can

Live without it

- – -

In the end you’ll connect again

With your family and friends

Your social life will improve

And you’ll stand a chance 

To be free of your addiction
