Alcoholic Psychosis lyrics

A life lived in desperation

N'er being, n'er finding

A happiness untouchable

Scenery for a drama yet

The actor being lackluster

Could not muster strength

Nor enthusiasm to excel

And thus fell to find rot

Drink, it solved everything

But tomorrow's renewal

And thus it was necessary

Imbibing the numbing brew

It took away the pain of real

A conglomeration of wrongs

All the falsehoods of family

The imaginary reality conjured

So then the days grew short

For substance users this is true

And added up the years wasted

The calamitous consequences too

So distance grew and gained upon

And options they were very few

'Til charity and sentiment were all

That maintained the outcast crew

A merited scourge befell him

Earned by his life of failures

That the effects could not hide

He became even more sinister

Now with age and his legacy

His mouth spieling out insults

All that he has known and heard

He teeters on reality's edge unsure

Leaning over the edge unthinking

He looks into the uncertain precipice

The summit of his many fears

And lashes out pathetically so

Doomed to sail a sinking ship

He can only bail so long before

The tedious tasks overcomes him

And he drowns in the stewing sea
