So much to give

My mind is up and down like a yoyo

Eyes all around looking for the popo

Paranoid, freakin’, jumpy like a pogo

Red faced, dull eyes, alcoholic logo

The life I am living is fake

All ‘hair of the dog’ and ‘wake and bake’

That’s no way to live, I got so much to give

Satisfied with getting fried on each and every dime

Liquefied suicide one sip at a time

Mortified and terrified of my downward climb

Horrified, I recognize this slow death in my prime

The most fucked up in the room

Sensing a feeling of impending doom

As I recklessly zoom from womb to tomb

The life I am living is fake

All ‘hair of the dog’ and ‘wake and bake’

That’s no way to live, I got so much to give

The message I found in the bottles I was drinkin’

Finally opened my eyes and set me to thinkin’

Am I gonna keep digging this hole that I dug

Or will I really learn to plug the jug

It's not easy to quit so most people won't

Society makes it legit so what's the damn point

I really don’t need it yo I know that I don’t

I’ll wind up in the hospital, the morgue or the joint

There has got to be a better path

That doesn’t incur this daily wrath

So I slowed my roll and bided my time

Took out the trash one piece at a time

Cause tis what tis, taint what taint

I ain’t never gonna be a saint

The life I was living was fake

No more ‘hair of the dog’ or ‘wake and bake’

Cause that’s no way to live, I got so much to give
