Double A

Sitting here
Just me and my friend
Gor warm feeling inside
From my bottle of sin
There for me when I call
To offer its relief and let me dive in
Drowning me in tis love
And I can't swim to the rim
I try to escape
But it just pulls me back in
Different colors
Shapes
And flavors
Its taste
Its presence
Its caress I savor
Me...and my bottle of sin
No one can do me better
For I am never truly happy
Until we are together
There by my side
To help me face the stormy weather
It gives me happiness
It gives me pleasure
It sings me a song
It gives me peace
It rocks me in its arms
And puts me to sleep
And when I wake up
Im alone again
Just me, a headache
And an empty bottle of sin
I scream why'd you go?!
You were supposed to be my friend!
Then it says I'll be back for you
And shoots me a sly grin
But I need you now I say
As I reach out
But its gone; just a memory
As I sit on my couch
Alone with no money
I can't even by a friend
So I contemplate what to do
And decide its time for life to end
My obituary will read
Killed by a bottle of sin
That wore a mask, and disguised itself
As my best friend

When the tears start to flow
When the pain is torturous
And the memories of the past are relentless
When everywhere around you there is sadness
And not even your best friend can seem to help you through
When you've been running so long
That your strength is gone
And the road of trials seems to go on and on
When you're losing your mind
There's so much to do but so little time
And you feel like you're in a field of emotional mines
Just ready to blow
When the heat of the sun of strife is glaring on you with no umbrella-ella-ay...
Able is not in your vocabulary
Success is a distant memory
And happiness left at the change of what was happening
You're trying to hold on
But you're losing your grip
Trying to keep the pieces together
But you're out of glue
Trying to move on
But there's no where to go
Trying to let go
But the pain sticks like velcro
You pray and cry and wonder if God's listening to you
But maybe the problem is that you're not listening to him
Steady listening to the people that don't know what's best
When all God says is obey me and I'll do the rest
So determined to do things yourself
And look...
Now the tears have started to flow
Peace
Be still
Listen for his voice
Deliverance of unrelenting pain
You make the choice
When the storms come
And the boat rocks sailing life's waves
The people you thought were your friends will throw you overboard to save themselves
Drowning in sin
Will you humble yourself and say Lord I need your help?!
So far from the peaceful shore
And the tears have started to flow
So quick to turn to God
Because we know he can deliver us
We hear his voice loud and clear then
But when everything's alright
And life's going smoothly
How quickly do we forget
How quickly do we forget that it was he that brought us through
That it was he that saved us when we couldn't save ourselves
That it was he that dried our eyes
When the tears started to flow
