Alcohol will push you
Gently at first
Almost imperceptibly
Towards that cliff
It’ll weaken you
Remove your resolve
Make you believe
your problems you can’t solve

It’s lying to you!

A little bit further
It’s anything but tame
Closer and closer
It’s the alcohol game
Drink a little bit more
As you hang your head in shame

It’s actually an elaborate illusion
Cashing in on your confusion
Your tired and upset brain
Your unresolved pain

Alcohol lies !

Back away from the cliff
You won’t survive the fall
Stop listening
to the alcohol
voice’s call

It’s using a loud speaker
It’s actually small
And a voice changer
So you don’t hear the danger
