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
If you were to pull
the curtain back
You’d see
The voice is a petulant child really
Throwing a fit when you don’t give in
But you know better
And you CAN win!
Step away from the edge of the cliff
Alcohol lies
It’s a smiling assasin
