In desperate times you cling to the bottle to chase away
The thoughts that burrow within your mind
I am fighting to fix this
I know it's hard but know that hope is with us
The vices that were killing me
Always kept me alive
Because in my frame of mind
I'm always the one who's losing sight
Like vice grips around my neck
I'm reminded of what I lack
Blurred vision never ceased to fail me
So pull me out and rid me of this disease
So I'll breathe it in, breathe it in
Substance abuse was always my friend
But I guess a dose of reality was never enough
So I'll drown out the fact that I always cared too much
When it's pain you're sinking in
Don't lose yourself in shame again
There's always a way for you to let it out
Talk to me and I can help
Take a breath and never let it go
Swallow the sorrow and then you'll know
You will never be all alone
Take a breath
Then you'll know you will never be on your own
I can't fight the addiction
It's all I can see and it's killing me
It rots in my veins and has become my reality
Just hold on tight and you can make it through the night
When it feels like you need a fix just to survive
And now you'll see it's just a matter of time
Before you realize there's so much more to life
I have seen this before
These lucid thoughts that I can't control
How can I see that there's more to life
When I'm clinging to a bottle just to survive
When it's pain you're sinking in
Don't lose yourself in shame again
There's always a way for you to let it out
Talk to me and I can help
Take a breath and never let it go
Swallow the sorrow and then you'll know
You will never be all alone
Take a breath
Then you'll know you will never be on your own
The vices that were killing me
Always kept me alive
But I will always fight to see the brighter side of life
Like vice grips around my neck
I know now that this can't hold me back
For all of those that are fighting to fix this
I know it's hard but hope is with us
